THE WASHINGTON RACE WAR
OF JULY, 1919
By Lloyd M. Abernethy
IN the history o£ the nation's capital, July, 1919, is widely
remembered as the month that President Wilson returned
from Paris and submitted the Peace Treaty of the " War for
Democracy" to the United States Senate. It is ironic that the
same month also witnessed the most serious racial conflict in
the history of the District of Columbia. For four days, July
19-22, a full scale race war fed by the passions and prejudices
of both whites and Negroes resisted the efforts of public auth-
orities to restore order. This was not the first nor the only
racial conflict in the violent year following the war. Before
July 19, five race riots in scattered parts of the country had
been repeated by the New York Times.^ The Washington riot,
'The riots occurred in New York City; Millen, Georgia; Charleston, South
Carolina; Longview, Texas; and Bisbee, Arizona.

however, was the first of the year to capture nation-wide atten-
tion and arouse serious press and public concern for the state
of our race relations. This concern was to increase sharply
during the summer of 1919, for the Washington riot was fol-
lowed closely by majot (fisteflers In €tifCago, Knoit^lle, Otoa-
ha, and Elaine, Arkansas. B^ore the year ended, twenty-six
American cities had been scarred by racial affrays, making
1919 one of the most tragic years in Negro-white relations in
American history. While this study attempts to explain only
the Washington race riot (or more accurately " race war ") ,
the author hopes that it will suggest some clues to understand-
ing the general pattern of race relations after the war.
I
The District of Columbia, in July, 1919, was still suffering
from the effects of its extraordinary growth which began with
America's entrance into the war in 1917. A large number of
workers, many of whom were from the South, had migrated to
Washington to assume temporary jolx created by the govern-
ment in expanding its operations to meet wartime needs. The
total population had jumped from 359,997 in 1916 to 455,428
in 1919, an average increase of over 32,000 per year for the
period compared to the yearly average of one to two thous-
and before the war.^ Most (79,942) of the new residents were
white and represented an increase of thirty per cent over the
1916 white population. During the same period many Negroes,
generally discontented with their lot in the South, were
drawn to the North by the promise of fairer treatment and
better-paying jobs.^ About 15,000 of them made their way to
Washington, increasing the Negro population by fifteen per
cent. In 1919, there were 340,796 whites and 114,632 Negroes
in Washington, or approximately three whites for every Negro.*
The capital in 1917 was not equipped physically to handle
the heavy influx of workers nor was it able to remedy its defi-

ciencies, let alone keep up with new demands for services, as
the war months passed. Its facilites for transportation, enter-
tainment, and telephone ^tice as well as its hotels, restau-
rants, and private housing were all crowded and overworked.^
According to one observer, there was a shortage o£ everything
"except incompetent people," and the only places "not abso-
lutely congested " were the churches.'' Forced to wait in lines
to eat meals, to board streetcars, to see movies, and even to
brush his teeth in some instances, the Wadiington war worker
led a " hurry-up-and-wait " existence. The harried competitive
environment became even more intolerable to many white
workers when they found themselves competing with Negroes
for many advantages.
The temporary war workers were not alone in resenting
the presence of Negroes in the crowded environment. Not-
withstanding the fact that the latter comprised only one quar-
ter of the population, many native Washingtonians believed
that their city was being overrun with Negroes. This attitude
was particularly obvious in the matter of private housing. For-
merly Negroes had been unofficially restricted to a " black
belt " in the southwest section of Washington. With the rapid
expansion of their numbers during the war, however, they
began to spread into other residential areas, particularly the
northwestern part of the city. Prior to 1919 their overflow into
white residential sections had produced no major conflict, but
it had caused a great deal of friction and was a constant source
of resentment between the two races.'
Washington's unsettled atmosphere was complicated fur-
ther in the late spring and early summer of 1919 by the intro-
duction of a new unstable element. Hundreds of service-
men who had been discharged from nearby military camps
came to Washington to find jobs.' Although no jobs were
immediately available and the prospects were not good (since
the government was beginning to dismantle its wartime agen-

cies) , many of the men preferred to stay in the city rather
than return to their former hcMiies. In addition, there were
many Washington men being discharged and returned to their
homes in the District.* They, too, were unable to find jobs
immediately and soon joiHed tlteir forHaer comrades in the
streets and the near-beer saloons to joke, play cards, and trade
grievances. Thus, a formidable body of young men— many still
in uniform, unemployed and resentful of the employed, par-
ticularly if they were colored, restless and full of energy— were
eager for excitement wherever it might be found.
II
For months prior to July, 1919, reports of crime— and par-
ticularly Negro crime— had come to occupy an increasing
amount of news space in Washington papers.^" There was
some justification for the rise in total crime reporting; the
crime rate in the District of Cohimbia had risen steadily since
1917 (see chart below).^^ But the increase, when due consid-
eration is given to the enormous population gains in the Dis-
trict during the same period, was not spectacular. Nor was
Washington's increase in crime unique; most other major
American cities reported a similar increase for the war period.
Yet the local Herald persisted in calling Washington " the
most lawless city in the union "—a title it hardly deserved.
There was less justification for the increased emphasis on
Negro crime. The crime rate for Negroes was more than
double that for whites, but up to and including 1919 they
were responsible for less than half of the total crimes commit-
ted each year. More important is the fact that there had been

practically no increase (the 1919 rate was less than two per
cent higher than in 1918, less than one per cent higher than
1917, and three per cent lower than in 1916) in the per cent
o£ Negroes arrested for crimes. Since the percentage o£ total
convictions (see table n. 11) had Temai@ed constant since
1917, and because there was no reason to suspect a revolution-
ary change in the percentage of Negro convictions, it is appar-
ent that while crime had increased in Washington in 1919
the percentage of crime attributed to the Negro remained
practically stable. According to the statistics o£ the Washing-
ton Police Department, Negro crime did not deserve the
greater or an increased share of publicity. Nevertheless, the
Washington papers, published for a predominately white audi-
ence, seemed unconcerned about the impressions of the Negroes
conveyed by their reporting.
In late June and early July, several Negro assaults on
white women provided the capital's newspapers with sensa-
tional headlines for weeks. The Washington Herald ran front
page stories on " crimes against women " and " Negro fiends "
for thirteen of the first seventeen days of July. The Times
carried fewer stories but surpassed the Herald in sensational-
ism. The Post and Evening Star, commonly acknowledged to
be the most sober of Washington newspapers, published arti-
cles on Negro crime almost daily. Most of the incidents re-
ported were exaggerated; others— recited to police or reporters
by frightened and excited women— proved to be completely
groundless upon investigation. Records of the Washington
Police Department, furnished later by its chief, showed three
attempted assaults and one case of rape in the District of
Columbia for the month preceding July 19. One man— who,
ironically, had been apprehended before the nineteenth— was
suspected of three of the four assaults.^^ In contiguous Mary-
land, one assault was reported in the first nineteen days of
July. However, because of the newspaper articles, a large seg-
ment of the white population was convinced that a Negro

" crime wave " was abroad. On July 2, the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association threatened to hold a " lynching bee " un-
less the crimes were halted." On the night of July 8, thirty
white men almost lynched a Negro before he was able to con-
vince them that he was not guilty of assaulting white Women."
Under the pressure of public opinion the Washington police
conducted a large scale search for Negro suspects. In a num-
ber of cases they were overly zealous in their eflEorts; they
invaded Negro homes without search warrants and indiscrim-
inately rounded up hundreds of innocent Negroes for ques-
tioning." The Negroes were both alarmed and infuriated.
Already basically suspicious of white policemen, they were
convinced by these incidents that they could not expect fair
treatment or protection from the police department.
By July 9, the state of public opinion appeared so danger-
ous to the Washington branch of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People that its director wrote to
the fmzr lading Washingtrai wewsjMpors calling the attention
of the editors to the explosiveness of the situation. He pre-
dicted that race riots might result unless the papers moderated
their reporting of Negro crime.^' Of the four newspapers,
only the Evening Star acknowledged the justice of this warn-
ing. The Herald mentioned the possibility of violence: " Trou-
ble seems to be brewing in Washington, and, although the
police laugh at the possibility of racial affrays, extra precau-
tions are being taken in territory largely settled by colored
people." " Apparently, however, ntme of the major newspa-
pers took any definite action to ease the growing tension be-
tween the whites and the Negroes.
On July 12, the local Negro newspaper— sensing impending
disaster— voiced the hope that all Negroes would not be held
responsible for the crimes of individual colored men:
The Bee takes this opportunity to say to the people in this city
that colored citizens are as much in favor of bringing these viola-
tors of the law to justice as any other class of American citizens.

Shortly after ten o'clock cai the night of July 18, a young
white woman— on the way home from her job at the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving— was approached and jostled by
two Negroes as she walked alraig Twelfth Street in southwest
Washington. When she screamed the Negroes fled and man-
aged to escape the pursuit of several white men who were near
the scene of the incident. By the next day, Saturday, the news
of this latest " outrage " was widespread. The Post carried the
story in an article entitled " Negroes Attack Girl." Rewards
totaling more than $2000 were raised by private subscription
for the arrest of the assailants.^" The chief of police issued
orders for policemen to question all young men, white or col-
ored, found loitering anywhere after nightfall.*^ But even with
these precautions neither the police nor the Negroes appeared
prepared for what followed.
The streets of Washington were more crowded than usual
on Saturday night. Added to the civilian workers and the
transient ex-servicemen were hundreds of soldiers, sailors, and
Marines on leave or pass from nearby military installations.
Early in the evening a report was circulated among the serv-
icemen that a sailor's wife had been attacked by a Negro.
Incensed by what appeared to be a serious wrong to a fellow
serviceman, some of the young men determined to seek
revenge. Soon (it is not known who started it or where it
began) the word was being passed around for all servicemen
to meet at the Knights of Columbus Hut at Seventh Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue. From there a group of several hundred

aviator. Actually her husband was a civilian employee in the Naval Aviation

men, who were joined by other servicemen and civilians as
they moved along, set out for the colored district intent on
beating a suspect of the recent assaults on white women who
had been released by the police. Before the police became
aware of what was taking place and initiated action to dis-
perse the mob, two Negroes had been seriously beaten with
clubs and lead pipes and several others injured. The mob's
action was shortlived but before morning its effect had aroused
tension and fear in every corner of the colored section. In the
early hours of the morning a policeman was shot and gravely
wounded when he challenged a frightened Negro in south-
west Washington.^*
The next day was a typical summer Sunday in Washing-
ton—quiet, hot, and humid. The police were more alert than
usual and it appeared that the riot had been nothing more
than a minor Saturday night incident. Shortly after ten o'clock
Sunday night, however, groups of whites— composed of both
servicemen and civilians as on the previous night— began
attacking individual Negroes on Pennsylvania Avenue between
Seventh Street and the Treasury Building.^' Three Negroes
were sent to the Emergency Hospital from Seventh Street.
Later, three Negroes were beaten by Marines and soldiers at
Fifteenth Street and New York Avenue in northwest Wash-
ington. On G street a young Negro was dragged from a street-
car, beaten and chased by a mob for several blocks before he
escaped.^* In front of the Riggs Bank the rioters beat a Negro
with clubs and stones wrapped in handkerchiefs; the bleeding
figure lay in the street for over twenty minutes before being
taken to the hospital.^'
Sensing the failure of the police, the mob became even more
contemptuous of authority— two Negroes were attacked and
beaten directly in front of the White House. At one A.M.
police headquarters received a riot call from Ninth Street and
New York Avenue where between 200 and 250 servicemen and
civilians were attacking Negroes. Five minutes later another

riot call came from Tenth and L Streets in northwest Wash-
ington. Shortly thereafter, it was reported that soldiers had
attacked Negroes near the American League baseball park.^^
AnoUjer incident occurred near SeveftA Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue when a policeman attempting to arrest a sol-
dier was threatened by a mob; he managed to hold his pris-
oner, however, until reinfofcemenls isrweS..^
By three A.M. the city had begrm to quiet down. To pre-
vent other outbreaks the police reserves remained on duty
throughout the night to bolster the regular patrolmen. The
toll for the night included fifteen Negroes with serious injur-
ies who had been taken to the Emergency Hospital; many
others— bruised, bleeding, and frightened— received first aid
treatment at police headquarters.** That there were no deaths
was probably due to the fact that the rioters had employed
few weapons; for the most part they had resorted to their
fists.
By Monday morning, the extent and seriousness of the riots
had stirred Washington officials into action. Louis Brownlow,
Chairman of the District Commissioners, and the Chief of the
Washington Police Department conferred with Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker and Army Chief of Staff General Pey-
ton C. March.*^ As a result the Provost Guard, which had
been removed from the streets on June 15 as a demobiliza-
tion measure, was restored to supplement the city police. Sec-
retary Baker issued a statement deploring the participation of
soldiers in the riots and explaining that the War Department
had no jurisdiction over the large number of discharged men
still in uniform in Washington. The Secretary of the Navy,
Josephus Daniels, issued orders to the Naval Commander in
the District to report all names of sailors or Marines who might
have taken part in the riots.*^ Commissioner Brownlow made
a general appeal for order. "The actions of the men who
attacked innocent Negroes cannot be too strongly condemned,"
he said, "and it is the duty of every citizen to express his sup-

port o£ law and order by refraining from any inciting conver-
sation or the repetition of inciting rumor and tales. "^^ For
the Negroes, the NAACP sent a direct protest to President
Wilson which condemned mofe violence and urged the en-
forcement of order.^*
At the same time preliminary preventive measures were
being taken, however, more active efiforts were underway to
intensify the disorder. The front page of the Monday morn-
ing edition of the Washington Post carried the following state-
ment under the subtitle " Mobilization few Tonight ":
It was learned that a mobilization of every available serviceman
stationed in or near Washington or on leave here has been ordered
for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus hut; on Penn-
sylvania Avenue between Seventh tod Eighth Streets.
The hour of assembly is 9 o'clock and the purpose is a ' clean-
up ' that will cause the events of the last two evenings to pale into
insignificance.
Whether official cognizance of this assemblage and its intent will
bring about its forestalling ctonot be told.**
Faced by such open threats as this and convinced after two
nights of uncontrolled rioting that the Washington police
could not or would not protect them from the mobs, many
Negroes began to arm themselves.^* According to the Negro
newspaper, the New York Age, some Negroes sought to defend
their homes and themselves while others armed to strike back
at the whites. Pawnshops and other dealers in the District did
a thriving business in guns and ammunition, selling second-
hand pistols for as much as fifty dollars apiece. The Washing-
ton police later estimated that more than 500 guns were sold
in the District on Monday.*' One Washington correspondent
reported that Negroes placed three machine guns with hun-
dreds of rounds of ammunition and hand grenades in " high
powered cars " for attacks on the white population.**

The retaliatory spirit of the Negroes was first demonstrated
at eleven o'clock on Monday morning. Four Negroes fired eight
shots from a speeding car at a white sentry and several patients
in front of the Naval Hospital in Georgetown.** Fortunately
no one was injured and the car with its occupants was cap-
tured later in the afternoon. On Monday night, rioting broke
out again in northwest Washington between Seventh and
Ninth Streets and along Pennsylvania Avenue. The police and
the Provost Guard managed to restrict the main white mob to
the downtown area but they found it impossible to keep the
streets clear elsewhere. The fighting, however, took a different
turn from the previous nights— the whites fared as badly or
worse than the Negroes. Early in the evening a white Marine
was shot and stabbed by a Negro near the White House.*" At
the corner of Fourth and N Streets a crowd of Negroes attacked
a streetcar. At Seventh and F Streets a Negro fired into a
crowd from the rear of a truck; he wm killed when a detec-
tive returned the fire.*^ Another Negro emptied his revolver
into a crowded streetcar at Seventh and G Streets, wounding
a white man and a thirteen-year-old boy. A policeman fired

Small groups of whites and blacks cfeslied in the northwes-
tern part of the city during the day but there was no general
disturbance until after nightfall. When darkness came there
were noticeably fewer Negroes on the streets than on previous
nights. Evidently they had followed the advice of policemen
who had circulated through the Negro sections during the
afternoon advising Negroes to keep off the streets. Neverthe-
less, observers reported that throughout the city there was the
same sense of suppressed excitement and tension which had
existed on Sunday and Monday nights. One reporter, who
visited the N^;ro secticm ©n Tuesday iii^t, said that the Ne-
groes were obsessed with fear and dread lest " a new East St.
Louis " was at hand. But, even though they were frightened—
the reporter noted— they were ako deteitakied to barricade
themselves in their homes and fight back should a mob come.''^
Shortly after ten o'clock, two white Home Guard officers
approached a Negro at Ninth and M Streets ostensibly to
question him. The Negro drew a revolver, shot and killed one
officer and gravely wounded his companion. Before a crowd
could gather the assailant had escaped.'* Another incident
occurred on L Street when two Negroes leaped from a buggy
and attacked a white youth who managed to escape without
serious injury. In mid-town, a large group of whites (esti-
mated at more than 2,000) gathered and started towards
the Negro section, but before they could reach their objective
they were dispersed by mounted troops and a heavy downpour
of rain. The rain continued sporadically throughout the night
and greatly assisted the police in breaking up other attempts
to form mobs." Small scattered clashes and many false alarms
from nervous citizens kept the police occupied but by mid-
night the situation appeared to be under control. Only one
Negro was admitted to the Emergency Hospital during the
night.

The next day billiard rooms, movie houses, and near-beer
saloons in the districts where most of the rioting had occurred
were closed. A few isolated incidents took place later in the
week but the presence of a large number of troops and the
consistent vi^lmce of she police discouraged any further
attempts at serious rioting. After four days, the riot had been
siKx:essfully put down but not until six people had been killed
and a large number injured.

It seems clear that the precipitating cause of the Washing-
ton riot was the " attack " upon the white woman on July 18.
But it is equally as obvious that this incident would not have
set off the riot had not conditions in Washington been ripe
for it. The lack of restraint in reporting Negro crime exhibited
by the Washington press; the background of Negro-white fric-
tion which prepared the whites to believe the worst about the
Negroes and to cmidone efforts to " put the Negro in his
place "; and the presence of a large group of irresponsible
young men, susceptible to rumor and prone to rash action,
who confused all Negroes with criminals; these were the
principal causes leading to the outbreak of violence. However,
despite the guilt of white people in initiating the riot, the
extent and seriousness of the disorder must be attributed to
another source. Until the third day— when the Negroes began
fighting back— violence had been restricted to the fist-and-club
stage and no one had been killed. It seems safe to say that
probably no would have been killed, the riot would have
ended sooner, and it would have gone down as a minor affray
had the Negroes not resisted the whites.
Even though the violence was deplorable it cannot be
denied, however, that Washington Negroes were justified in
making the riot a bilateral " war." They were attacked and
were convinced, by the events leading up to the attacks and
the failure of the Washington police to stop them, that they
had no defense but themselves. The one great failure of the
police was that they did not have the confidence of the col-
ored people and did not make any pronounced effort to assure
them of security either before or during the riot. However, the

significance of the Washington riot is not that the Negro was
left to his own defenses but that he did not run away and hide
as he had on previous occasions; for the first time he fought
back at his persecutors.
While many of the Negro attackers were of the vagrant ele-
ment—" poolroom hangers-on and men from the alleys and
side streets "—the attitude of " fighting back " was widespread
among Negroes in Washington.^* " During the riot," stated
one Washington Negro, " I went home when through with
my work and stayed there, but I prepared to protect my home.
I am as law-abiding as anybody, but I believe I must protect
my home and myself when necessary. If a Negro had nothing
but a fire poker when set upon, he should use it to protect his
home. I believe all the men in my block felt the same way."
Another Negro said: " We are tired of being picked on and
being beat up. We have been through war and gave every-
thing, even our lives, and now we are going to stc^ being beat
up." The Washington Bee summed up the general attitude
by saying, " The black man is loyal to his country and to his
flag, and when his country fails to protect him, he means to
protect himself."
These statements and the actions of Washington Negroes
suggest that their attitude was more than a local phenomenon
and that it fundamentally reflected the profound impact of
the war experience on Negroes in general. Washington Neg-
roes al(Mig with their brothers and sisters throughout the coun-
try played a significant role in the total war effort. They served
in the armed forces, many saw combat, and some died in
battle. Those sent overseas discovered social equality for the
first time among the French, an experience they did not soon
forget. At home, Negroes purchased Liberty Bonds, contrib-
uted to the Red Cross, saved food, and generally worked as
heartily as white people to bring an end to the conflict."* The
men found better grades of employment; some worked at wage-
earning jobs for the first time. Many women came out of the

kitchens of the whites and found better pay, shorter hours, and
less menial work in jobs as elevator operators and office clean-
ing women.''* Negroes had more money, they dressed better,
they took more pride in themselves and began doing some
thinking and speaking for themselves.""
Encouraged by the idealistic goals of the war effort, Negroes
had hopes for a better future for themselves. In fact, in many
ways by many people— government officials, race leaders, and
newspaper editors— they were promised a new era. In an inter-
view with a Negro leader in March, 1919, President Wilson
said:
I have always known that the Negro has been unjustly and un-
fairly dealt with. Your people have exhibited a degree of loyalty
and patriotism that should command the admiration of the whole
nation. In the present conflict your race has rallied to the nation's
call, and if there has been any evidence of slackerism by Negroes,
the same has not reached Washington. Great principles of right-
eousness are won by slow degrees. With thousands of your sons in
the camps in France, out of this conflict you must expect nothing
but full citizenship rights— the same as are enjoyed by all other
citizens.'^
The Negro emerged from the war experience with a new
conception of himself and hk relation to democracy. " Out of
this war," wrote the editor off the Washington Bee on. April
26, 1919, " the Negro expects— he demands— justice, and can
not and will not be content with less . . . Our men were not
afraid to die, even when three thousand miles from home, and
they will not be afraid to die for democracy here at home if
it is much longer refused them." The race war in Washington
was an open declaration of the Negro's new attitude. No longer
would he submit to being chased and beaten without a vigor-
ous protest. It was also a warning of what was to be expected
and what was to come in the racial aflErays that followed in
1919.

THE STATE AND DISSENTERS IN THE
REVOLUTION
By Thomas O'Brien Hanley, S. J.
TT would be an oversimplification to say that there was
merely the appearance of conscience as Americans revolted
against the mother country. Their appeal to natural right has
been ascribed to rationalization of unrighteous conduct. Yet
the continual preoccupation of important Americans with the
tightness or wrongness of their actions at the various stages of
the Revolution shows that conscience was prcMtnpting. Sincer-
ity is not easily tested. Rather than decide this matter, it is
better to continue with the reconstruction of the complexity
of the human situation which was the American Revolution
in its moral dimension. There are some smaller, more man-
ageable aspects of this larger question worth pursuing.
The current state of scholarship points to one clear area
where conscience was very much alive during the Revolution.
Such pacifists as the Quakers provide the more striking in-
stances. Others had a much more complex adjustment of prin-
ciples to make. There were pacifists among Methodists, but in
addition they were of a church united with the English state.
Not merely the rightness or wrongness of war, then, but the
guilt or innocence involved in severance of that state and its
church. In this latter dilemma was found the distress of other
members of the Church of England, in addition to Methodists.
Whether the majority of Marylanders, who were Anglicans,
were deeply distressed in conscience over this exact point
is not certain. The political feature of Toryism probably
played a more important role in the decision of the average
opponent of the Revolution. Among the clergy, however, the
religious and moral distress was most pronounced, and it is
their writings and actions which dramatize the struggles of
conscience.
All of this is not to say that those who found no problem
in accepting the Revolution were bereft of social conscience.
325
326
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
Writings o£ their clergy show they were conscientious. Pres-
byterian and Roman Catholic morality of war and politics
provided immediate justification of the Revolution. Theory
regarding the nature of the church stood in the way of
neither. But the conscience of the Rev<di*tion does not stand
so significantly revealed here as in the religious dissenters or
the doubtful.
While the State had made its own decision, how did it deal
with those who had not or who had dissented for religious rea-
sons? Was security of state used conscientiously as a consider-
ation in dealing with the open dissenter? The action of the
state in these matters would deeply affect the freedom with
which men in good conscience took up or rejected the cause
of Revolution. The action of the state could thus create an
amoral social movement and to that extent an inhuman one.
There is evidence indeed that many were deprived of their
civil liberties during the American Revolution. Maryland had
its own instances. A closer examination, however, will bring
out the other side of this picture. The state is found possessed
of a reasonable delicacy of conscience in dealing with religious
doubters and the dissenters. The conscience of the Revolution
then is under scrutiny insofar as the new state is the agent of
the Revolution.
Those responsible for law and order had a most complex
task in assuring the rights of conscientious dissenters. It was
for them, as William Eddis put it, " to stem the torrent excited
by factious artifices." At the other extreme were those who
would use religion's privileges for Tory purposes. Even those
who innocently followed their own lights might through im-
prudence jeopardize the safety of the state at war with Eng-
land. Yet the Tory Eddis put his hope in " many respectable
characters," with whom this difficult business rested. " Consid-
ering the complexion of the times," he concluded optimisti-
cally, " their proceedings have been regular and moderate." ^
Maryland governmental records make it clear that the state
understood its difficult position. In Article 4 of the proceed-
ings of the Constitutional Convention, members had to state
the major assumption of any revolutionary government, con-

ing Occurrences from 1769 to 1777, Inclusive (London, 1792) , pp. 210-12.
THE STATE AND DISSENTERS IN THE REVOLUTION 327
trary as it was to the religious views of many dissenters: " The
doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppres-
sion, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and hap-
piness of mankind." ^ The Constitution, however, generously
sought to protect clergymen and religicww ■dMsenters.^ They
could not in conscience accept this statement which satisfied
the conscience of the state. In view of the strong position
taken by the state, self-discipline was required in interpret-
ing the cases of clergy and dissenters, if the state would be
conscientious.
The Council and various officials found these duties ex-
tremely difficult. General William Smallwood experienced the
military official's problem. He found many on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland who pleaded that religion and not politics
led them to be disaffected toward the Maryland revolution-
ary government. They thus felt obliged to aid the British.
" Tho[ugh] there are some exceptions," Smallwood explained
in one report, " wherein Ignorant men from their Religious
Attachments have been deluded (those are readily distin-
guished &: to be pittied) yet by far the greater number con-
ceal their true motives, & make Religion a Cloak for their
nefarious designs." * William Paca, the same year and in the
same area, told of two clergymen who exemplified Smallwood's
contention. His patience was tried in dealing with them. " If
in the Heat of Zeal," he wrote to Governor Thomas Johnson,
" I may advise any Extremity out of the straight Line of the
Law for [of] our Constitution I hope I shall be excused: as
to Extremities from necessity they will need no Apology or
Justification." '
The Assembly earnestly tried to deal with these difficult sit-
uations while safeguarding freedom. For only in this way
would the conscience of the Revolution be truly free. As early

as 1775 the right of religious dissenters was established. The
Maryland lawmakers stated that the citizen had an obligation
to defend his country and to bear arms. " Clergymen of all
denominations," they hastened to add, " and such persons wiio
from their religious principles cannot bear arms in any case
[are] excepted. . . ." » During the ^r pcried, records of the
s<atc government ^ow many instances where higher officials
sent directives to lower ones, restraining them from acti^
gainst dissenters. Often lower officials would refer the more
difficult cases of conscientious objectors to their superiors.^
Minutes of the Kent Monthly Meeting of Quakers gave evi-
dence of the Assembly's success with laws which favored the
free exercise of conscience. The period following 1776 does
not reveal mafiy im^s^ces ¥^iere Quakers were refused the
benefit of those laws which protected pacifists.^ Their practice
of actively encouraging others to pacifism could often have
pamed fer dbstructi<xi oi nationsl defente. Officials reported
little difficulty in this reipect. Many Quakers refused to pay
for substitutes in the miHtia as the law sometimes required.
But nearly a year passed before the minutes make mention of
any trouble from the state government over such matters.®
Confiscations were often made by the state governments when
Quakers failed to pay for substitutes in the militia. The Quaker
fund in Maryland to help those so penalized was not drawn
on very heavily, which indicates the mild effect of the law
there.^" All of these observations are drawn from the Eastern
Shore, where the government would incline to be stricter in
view of the greater danger there of collaboration with the Eng-
lish. Treatment must have been more lenient on the Western
Shore where there was less danger.
Methodists, who had pacifists among them, had experiences
with the Maryland Government similar to those of Quakers.

impression.^^ In context their remarks do not add up to a case
of intolerance against the state government. Such writers did
not distinguish among the Methodist sufferers whom they
record. Rank Torism and open sedition, particularly in the
circumstances of Clowe's Rebellion alter cases.^^
Francis Asbury, who was to be the first Methodist bishop
in America, witnessed in his own career during the Revolu-
tio« the determination of the state to give protection to citi-
zens so that they might freely adjust their consciences. His
journal describes an instance of minor annoyance and obstruc-
tion. He tells how the local state (^lk:ial ttood by ready to
intervene with the instigators had they continued troubling
Asbury.^' In the early years of the War he once entered Anna-
polis with distrust, though Maryknd assemblymen had en-
couraged him by assuring him of a place to preach. " Con-
trary to my expectations," Asbury later wrote, " I preached
in the church. . . ." " At Frederick, & few months before the
surrender at Yorktown, he preached at the court house with-
out incident. Attendance at his preaching during these diffi-
cult times was generally good. Methodists grew remarkably in
numbers during the Revolutionary Period. This indicates that
external mobility as well as internal freedom in conscience was
considerable for the times."
Freeborn Garrettson, another Methodist preacher, tested
how conscientious the state was in respecting personal free-
dom durmg the War. He had been a companion of Martin
Rodda, something of a Tory jH*eaAer, which made Garrettson
suspect with some. There was also a natural tendency to be
impatient with pacifists such as Garrettson in those times.
" Brother Garrettson will let no person escape a religious lec-
ture that comes in his way," Francis Asbury had said of him.^*

The active hostility of Wesley toward the Revolution could not but be iden-
tified with Asbury, which accounted for the ill regard in which he was held
until the interception of his letter ccmtaining patriotic sentiments.

His fervor made him a typical Methodist preacher but the
intensity noted by Asbury would also make him more trying
to reluctant hearers of his words. Others would have fared
better from the tolerance ©£ people. Finally, there was hardly
a more widely trwelkd itinenm preacher in Maryland than
he. Garrettson thus provides a very reliable test for the whole
state.
One of the most brutal and unjust attacks on Garrettson
was dramatically stopped by the intervention of a magistrate
in Kent County. When soldiers began to treat him roughly,
a bystander provided a horse which carried him to the local
magistrate. " I told him," Garrettson later wrote, " I was
determined to Preach if I went to the stake[.] God had Called
me, and a man should not stop me, I was determined to regard
God rather than man. At that he became very friendly." "
A year later at Salisbury a military officer protected him
against those who demanded that he take the oath.^^ Garrett-
son did not oppose the cause of independence, but the oath
to him implied the obligation to bear arms. Strangers would
not easily understand his position. Yet, on one occasion in
Dorset County when a magistrate puzzled over Garrettson's
view of the oath, the sheriflE and a gathering of people urged
that Garrettson be allowed to go his way. " It is a pity to stop
you," they said in tribute to his zeal for preaching and respect
for personal freedom."^" A magistrate once intervened in favor
of Garrettson's friend in Salisbury and an officer disciplined
some soldiers who were threatening Garrettson himself.^" In
these and many other instances in Methodist journals, civil
officials were described as effectively restraining certain radical
elements of the Revolution, which threatened indiscriminately
to penalize dissenters.
Considering that Garrettson lacked adequate prudence in
manifesting his dissent, Marylanders must be credited with

considerable forbearance. He was not content simply to refuse
military service and pay the fee for a substitute. " I was de-
termined," he himself stated, " I never would never join the
multitude to serve the devil." Such strong pacifist statements
could not escape open expression nor fail to arouse antagonism
in revolutionaries who heard them. It is not surprising that he
had to be rescued by officials as happened at Salisbury.^^ The
public at large, however, tended to show sympathy for one in
Garrettson's position. When a man tried to prevent Garrett-
son from going to another station of his circuit, a crowd dis-
armed him. At the height of the War one of these obstructors
of his preaching came to him afterwards and apologized.^*
Garrettson began to preach on Maryland circuits during the
unsettled and controversial days preceding the outbreak of the
War. Yet as time went on through the War years he found
that he was better treated. " God had . . . opened the eyes of
one of the magistrates," he wrote of one instance of changed
attitudes, " so far (although before he was a persecutor) that
he took my part. . . ^* In time he noted that his " enemyes
begin to be at peace." He cited instances on the Eastern Shore,
and Somerset County in particular, as places where he found
improvement.*"
Garrettson, like Asbury, made certain statements which
seem to imply that the personal liberality of Marylanders
rather than their recently passed laws accounted for his protec-
tion. His writings taken together do not substantiate this im-
plication, nor do the situations which he described. His com-
parison of Maryland with Delaware is also misleading in this
respect. " I could claim a right in the Delaware state," he once
said "which state was more favorable to such pestilent fellows
[as himself]." ^* Yet the crowd in Delaware on occasion abused
him as it did in Maryland.*'
The thought behind Garrettson's statements seem to stem

from his understanding of the Delaware oath and his misread-
ing of the Maryland oath. The former in itself seems to exempt
one from bearing arms for conscience. The latter did not, but
relied on specific laws which exempted dissenters from the
oath and bearing arms. Moreo^iSir, Mwfkmiii Ja©nored the
Delaware oath as satisfying for its own requirement, a benefit
of which Garrettson actually availed himself.
It is important to note that Garrettson clearly stated that his
mobility and his position as a preacher was clearly favored by
the law of Maryland. He called attention to this when he com-
plained of the way he was restricted m Virginia. He exprased
implicit preference for Maryland's legal settlement.^* The fee
for a substitute in military service proved satisfactory to him.
He referred to his Maryland birtli and property whenever he
wanted a legal basis of protection. In the presence of military
men and the people in general he made it clear, like St. Paul,
that he was a citizen and entitled to the protection of the law.
" If they laid a hand on me," an official told the crowd on one
occasion, according to Garrettson, " he would put the law in
force against them. They withdrew to their homes, without
making the sleightest [sic] attempt on me."
All of these concrete instances tell us a great deal of the fact
of the state's conscience. The cast of mind of the state as agent
of the Revolution has a moral element. This says more than
that the Revolution tended to be conservative in Maryland.
Those leaders who were first to come out for independence,
and who have been for this reaiofi called radical, were iden-
tified with the conscientious manner of dealing with dissent-
ers just as those moderates were who were slow to declare. A
greater study of the manner erf conducting the Revolution will
ultimately throw light upon that act of conscience which in
the first moments initiated it. The collective conscience is the
same in both instances.

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL ESTATES
IN MARYLAND, 1700-1710
By Robert G. Schonfeld and Spencer Wilson
THE historian of the Colonial period of American history
is often confronted with a scarcity of primary sources from
which he can reconstruct and interpret our colonial back-
ground. Fortunately, for the student wishing to study the
Eighteenth century, a very large and rich collection of mate-
rials survive and are available for research. The Prerogative
Court records, specifically the Inventory and Account Books
(Libers) , as a valuable source for the historian, provide infor-
mation for a detailed analysis of the economic structure of
colonial Maryland society.^
The Inventory Books are composed of carefully compiled
lists of the personal effects, furniture, clothing, and all the
bric-a-brac found within the house or houses of the deceased.
Within a short time after the death of a citizen, " late deceased
of this county," two court appointed fellow-citizens were
charged with taking a " true and perfect " inventory of the
" goods, chattels, and possessions " of the dead citizen. This
they did in a very conscientious manner, literally down to the
smallest " piece of cloth." In no case was there a blanket
amount attached by these agents to the furnishings of the
house; they always enumerated every item as a separate entry
in the inventory. All items of personalty were carefully listed
in the Inventory and then appraised. This appraisal was car-
ried out with equally meticulous care, whether the particular
object was worth only a half cent or many pounds. The Inven-
tory was then totaled, in pounds-sterling, and submitted to the
Court as a true estimate of the value of a particular estate.

The Inventories, then, included personal property. Real prop-
erty was wholly excluded.
Equal care was evident in the auditing of the Inventories
at the fkial accounting in order to satisfy creditors and to
comply with the terms of the will, if there was one. This
accounting was handled by two other court-appointed citizens,
one very often being the surviving mate of the deceased while
the other was sometimes a newly acquired husband or wife.
Whether related or not, these executors were responsible for
the paying of any debts, collection of money owed to the
estate, and the distribution of any remainder in accordance
with the terms of the will. Naturally a former mate was most
anxious to reach a quick settlement if it was to the survivor's
advantage.
Only too often the final accounting, a process which could
take a period of years, turned out to the disadvantage of the
survivors. Then as today, men with very large assets died at
the height of their most active years. As a result the bulk of
a man's estate, if indeed not all of it, was absorbed by out-
standing indebtedness. Regardless of the pecuniary outcome
of the accounting, however, the final report of the executors
was submitted to the court and marked the final closing of
the books.
These processes, of Inventory and of Account, produce two
sets of figures. The figure derived from the Inventory repre-
sents the total assets (real property excluded) of the deceased.
A second figure, derived from the Account, represents the total
indebtedness against the estate. Each figure tells an important
story. From these still a third may be derived, by simple sub-
traction, showing the NET worth of the deceased's estate.
Since the economy of Maryland was based upon tobacco as
the colony's main export, it was the principal source of in-
come. The business system centered around the production,
curing, and shipping of the leaf to markets in England. The
crop was planted sometime in April and harvested in Septem-
ber. The leaves were then stored for curing, a process which
took the rest of the winter. Due to the nature of the plant,
it was necessary to ship after the process of curing was com-
pleted, usually the following summer. As a result the Mary-
THE VALUE OF PERSONAL ESTATES IN MARYLAND, 1700-1710 335
land planter was often competing against his fellow planters
in trying to ship his crop to England first. Moreover, especially
during the recurrent wars of the times, the wars of the League
of Augsburg and Spanish Succession, during the twenty years
to 1710, he was completely at the mercy of the arrival and
departure of the tobacco " fleet." That " fleet " was escorted
by English war-ships to Maryland early in the fall; it wintered
in Chesapeake Bay, and sailed with tobacco for British mar-
kets by the following August. With each sailing of the ships
went the future profits of every Maryland planter and any
colonist whose living was related to the tobacco crop.
This basic role of tobacco was reflected in some of the
smaller estates for they were more often reckoned in pounds
of tobacco rather than in money equivalents. This was done
for the sake of convenience. For example, the estate of Thomas
Mason of Talbot county was stated to be worth 6,835 pounds
of tobacco, about £26 sterling.^
Because of an imbalance of trade and a concomitant drain
of currency to England, the colonists were forced to rely
upon substitutes for coinage. They devised " tobacco money "
which was crude but effective for the local economy. On the
colonial market one pound of tobacco brought three pounds
of beef; two pounds of tobacco could be exchanged for a fat
pullet, and a hogshead had buying power enough to supply a
whole family with necessities for a year.^ One observer noted
that " tobacco is their [Maryland's] meat, drink, clothing and
money. . . ." * Another reported, " Tobacco is the current coyn
of Mary-land, and will sooner purchase commodities from the
merchant than money." ^ Either way, in sterling or tobacco,
the Prerogative Court records were kept as an accurate record
of the value of a colonist's personal belongings.

The following tables demcaistrate five conclusions which
were extracted from the statistics contained in the Court in-
ventories and accounts. The first set of tables, numbers I and
II, depict the actual size of the estates. Tkble II is a partial
break-down of a segment of the first. Table III presents the
indebtedness against those estates reported, while tables IV
and V give a regional picture of the sizes of personal hold-
ings. Lastly, the inventories contain records reflecting the
amount of human bondage in the colony for this period.
Table I shows the total number of estates in relation to the
estimated value of the inventtnies, from the poorest colonist
to the wealthiest. For example, the estate of Charles Mackory
of Dorchester county amounted to 4 shillings 6 pence. On
the other hand, that of Thcttnas Homewood of Anne Arundel
totaled £1263 14s 10d.«

Because of the preponderance of cases contained in the low-
est bracket, that of zero to four hundred and ninety-nine,
that particular category was broken down further as seen in
Table II.
Probably the most significant deduction from this further dis-
tilation of the inventory figures is seen in the very sharp drop
between the £49 and the £50 mark. This point appears to

The amount of indebtedness contracted by the colonists
named in the Accounts for the years 1700 through 1710 are
reflected in Table III.
A business man of colonial Maryland was subjected to many
of the same hardships as his counter-part at any time or place.
The tobacco planters often found themselves the victims of
shrewd London merchants and a fluctuating market. Mary-
land planters sold their crop to London agents and received
credit on the sale. These agents, in turn, used this credit to
fill orders from the planters for supplies, equipment, and lux-
uries for the ensuing year. If the market value of the crop fell
below the expected levels, then the planter was in debt to the
agent for the difference, which the colonist hoped to make up
on succeeding crops. Planters were also guilty of over-extend-
ing themselves in land speculation, slave purchases, poor man-
agement, and die like, all of which contributed to their finan-
cial troubles. These same conditions were also responsible for
indebtedness among the non-planter members of the colony.

was only a relative indication of the wealth of the colonist.
Beyond that was the matter of a final audit, the Account
Books, which showed the real worth of each estate. Approxi-
mately twenty per cent of the total valtie of all the inventor-
ies considered in this period was claimed by outstanding debts.

The estates of both rich and poor were subject to the demands
of creditors. A considerable number of the wealthier men died
leaving obligations which greatly reduced or even obliterated
their fortunes. In Calvert county George Parker's personal
effects were valued at £902, a substantial amount. When the
last claim was settled, however, his estate was in debt to a
THE VALUE OF PERSONAL ESTATES IN MARYLAND^ 1700-1710 339
total of £998 leaving his heirs with a paltry £6! * Justin Ben-
nett of Talbot county died leaving an estate inventoried at
£266 13s 7d. The total debt was £371 5s 5d, which presented
his heirs with unpaid obligations amounting to £104 lis
lOd." Finally, Robert Lucille, Esquire, of Queen Anne's county,
passed away with outstanding debts of £1613 00s 3d and with
no means for payment provided.^" Still, with this in mind,
Maryland's colonists were apparently prospering during the
first decade of the 18th century. Since 1683 the tobacco trade
had experienced a remarkable growth and Maryland planters
expected this to continue despite the outbreak of war in 1701.
This very high level of indebtedness would seem to argue for
optimism among the colonial businessmen even in the face of
wartime confusion.^^
These same records also contained enough information for
a regional picture of the estates considered. In both the In-
ventories and the Accounts, the names and places of residence
were usually recorded as a part of the whole process. It was
possible, therefore, to arrange the figures to show the relative
wealth of all the counties and to further compare the coun-
ties on a regional basis. In Table IV the various counties of
the Eastern Shore and Western Shore have been arranged
under their respective geographical areas. The number of the
estates for each major financial group were then placed oppo-
site the proper county. The category " unknown " simply
refers to those records for which there xvas no county listed.
Anne Arundel county indicated the most wealth. While on the
Eastern shore Talbot county showed the largest total value in
estates inventoried.^'' Both regions. Eastern and Western shore,
were nearly equal in development for the ten year period under
study. In round figures, the size of the personal estates ap-
proached £237,000 respectively for both sections of the colony.
As for the less fortunate areas, the newer settled colony of Prince
George's on the West and Dorchester on the East vied for the

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL ESTATES IN MARYLAND, 1700-1710 341
lowest position on the scale. The latter county was on the
bottom of the entire colony.
Because of the large number of estates which fell into the
poorest class, that group was broken down in Table V. This
was done to coincide with a similar msAjsm in Table II.
One further fact emerged from the statistics of the Court
records. That is, there was no appreciable alteration in the
sizes of the personal estates during the ten year period. The
inventories of 1700 were comparable with the inventories of
a decade later.
Up to this point the Inventory and Account records pro-
vided the necessary data for a picture of the apparent mon-
etary accumulation of those colonists who died during the
period 1700-1710. The records were detailed enough to fur-
nish a tabulation of the sizes of personal estates on colony-
wide, regional, and county levels. The figures presented speak
for themselves insofar as they go. It was also apparent from
the investigation of the Inventory lists that a further piece of
information, which seems to be intimately connected with per-
sonal holdings, should be mentioned in regard to this study.
That was in the ownership of Negro slaves and indentured
servants.
This second indication of affluence became obvious in the
reading of the Inventory lists. The well-to-do man in 1700
Maryland must have pointed to his ownership of Negro slaves
and of indentured servants as a symbol of his well-being. Men
of moderate means did own indentured servants, but the
larger estates were more often represented by the number of
Negroes owned by the deceased. As was stated above, the figure
of fifty pounds-sterling appeared from the Inventories as a
division point for separating the average citizen from his
wealthier counterpart.
Inventory lists carried the numbers of slaves, mulatto and
Negro, indentured servants, and Indians. The men who took
these inventories were also careful to provide as much infor-
mation as possible in the space of one line concerning the age,
health, name, and price of all servants. Inventories of inden-
tured servants also indicated the period for which the partic-
ular person was still held to his or her indenture, for it was
342
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
upon this point that the price of the servant was fixed. Sex,
age, and health were also taken into account.
Negro slavery was certainly an important segment of the
local economic picture. Fch: 8l»e deeade under study there were
a total of 1"962 Negro slaws lifted ftt tfte tsttfes. This figure
and the high prices, as seen in the Inventories, indicate the
financial importance of that institution. The price of a good
field hand ranged from £28 to £30. A Negro Woman brought
£25, while a combination of one man and one woman was
valued at £60 for the pair. It has been noted that the owner-
ship of Negroes began with those colonials whose personal
estates ranged more than £S0 total in the Inventory. Nor-
mally there were not a large number of slaves listed, however,
unless the total estate was £150 or more. From that point on
the number of slaves for each owner was apt to increase con-
siderably. The largest number of slaves were in the estate of
Richard Carter of Talbot county; he possessed ftfty-six Neg-
roes and five indentured servants aod 'm& worth, at the time
of his death, £4126 3s 2d.^' The most usual number of slaves
was nine, as listed in the estate of William Dorrington who
was worth £173 19s." In the truest sense of the word, the
Negro was property. He was listed as such even if he was
absolutely worthless, as was the case for Mark Richardson
whose estate at £440 5s Id included the estimates of three
Negro children and that of a man (drowned) —no value! "
Indentured servants were similarly treated as property and
so enumerated in the Inventories. A sick servant boy and a
sick man were valued at £4 respectively; both were in the
estate of John Haskins of St. Mary's county. Haskins' estate
amounted to only £23 7 s, this being in direct contrast with
the higher figures in the estates of the owners of Negro slaves.
A much lower price per head and smaller numbers, only 7 1 1
for the entire period, indicate a lesser role for the indentured
servant in the colonial economy."
Mulatto slaves were listed and accounted for along with the
Negro, regardless of the obvious mixture of blood. They also
commanded a fair price but no more substantial a one than

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL ESTATES IN MARYLAND, 1700-1710 343
that of a Negro field hand or house servant. There were only
107 mulattoes listed in the Inventories, a fact which at least
presents a statistical record of the existence of miscegenation.
Finally, in spite of the general unsuitability of Indians for
use as slaves, five were noted f«OT the p«tod 1790-1710. Per-
haps the only significant deduction to be drawn from this lies
in the classical names which were often given to these Indians.
Richard Harrison ©f Charles County, with an estate of £735
Is 3d, owned ten Negroes, three servants, and one Indian
named Pompey. Clearly Harrison admired the classics.^^
There were 3402 estates listed in the Inventories, of these,
1890, more than half, were of £50 or more and therefore
wealthy enough to purchase slaves. Furthermore, as was shown
in Table II, the ratio between the value of those estates and
the total numbers of estates at the same levels were increas-
ing, up to the £150 figure. At that point the number of highly
valued estates began to drop. For those planters in the £50
to £150 category the purchase of Negro slaves was an indication
to all of economic, and probably social, promotion. The
achievement of this " status symbol " removed many Maryland
planters from the yeomanry class and placed them among the
ranks of a new aristocracy of slaveholders.
Conceivably there were other household items carried on
these Inventories which might further reflect the material
wealth of the " Mary-landers " during the years 1700-1710, but
the authors felt that the statistics on slavery were a handy,
interesting, and a fair method in demo^trating a significant cri-
teria for riches in the colony. Slaves, Inventories, and Accounts,
all add up to a picture of financial accumulation. The pound-
sterling figures or their equivalents were of particular value in
placing the individual estates in juxtaposition, as they were
also in arranging the regional and county comparisons. Mary-
landers in all counties could, with skill and good luck, count
upon amassing a considerable fortune.

county of Cumberland, in a small park, IJ miles south east of Whitehaven,
on the road to Egremont.

in the site of the former botanical garden at Homewood, be-
tween the President's house and Gilman Hall. It may have
been one of the houses on Homewood which Charles Carroll
of Carrollton prudently advised his son Charles to remodel
and occupy, instead of ahead with his pkm to build the
relatively costly mansion now standing on Homewood.*^ On
April 11, 1771, Neale Haile, son of Nicholas Haile, conveyed
" Merryman's Lott," 105 acres, and " Haile's Addition," 30
acres, to Joseph Ensor, the above mentioned,*^ who, on June
27th of the same year, mortgaged these and contiguous prop-
erties to Charles Carroll of Carrollton.** The whole estate
amounted to some 1017 acres. On September 5, 1789, Elijah
Merryman and David McMechen, trustees for the estate of
Joseph Ensor, Jr., non compos mentis, (his father was then
deceased), purchased of Neal Haile the aforesaid " Haile's Ad-
dition " and part of " Merryman's Lott," which, on May I,
1794, they sold to Mr. Carroll.*" The great man did not long
remain in possession of his part of " Merryman's Lott." The
same year he deeded a part of it to Henry Wilmans and anoth-
er, smaller part, to Richard Dallam, and on October 27, 1795,
he sold to Mr. Wilmans 25 acres, "Lot No. 19," which appears
to have been part of the same tract of land; and this was all he
had."" Wilmans sold 79J acres of "Merryman's Lott" to Messrs.

circa 1799, mention is made of three simple dwelling houses, then standing on
Lyliendale, part in the occupation of James Barry, and part (formerly) occupied
" by Mr. [James] Walker, the late owner." Mr .Carroll very sensibly believed
that his son, Charles, should chose among these three houses one which would
serve his purposes, while he waited to fall heir to Doughoregan Manor.

conveyed his undivided moiety of the land so acquired to
James Barry, of Baltimore City, May 20, 1798.°^ Barry bought
Richard Dallam's part, January 29, 1799.^^ On February 12,
1801, Mr. Barry, h described as "of the city of Washing-

20^ perches, part {^) of Merryman's Lott, to Charles Carroll,
Jr.,** who, on August 13 following acquired the remaining
moiety of Richard Caton, his brother-in-law. Mr. Caton derived
his title from Samuel Moaie, trustee of the estate of Stephen
Casenave.^' On this estate Mr. Carroll built Homewood.
On April 24, 1809, the elder Carroll wrote to his son from
Annapolis the following letter:
I do not know what deeds Mr. Harper [Robert Goodloe Har-
per, his son-in-law] wants from this place to enable him to make
out yr title to Merrymans Lot; he has not written me for any, nor
have I any relating to the Lot but those I delivered to him the
20di Oct. 1802, viz Joseph Ensor's deed to me dated 27th June,
1771 being a mortgage of sundry lands in Baldmore & Neale Haile's
deed dated 11th April 1771 for 165 acres part of Morryman's Lot
and of 30 acres called Haile's Addition: this last was I presume
from Haile to Ensor, as it was made previously to Ensor's mortgage
to me.
In this letter Mr. Carroll mentions a " yankee " named Heard
who has applied for the position of superintendent of Home-
wood."*

Merryman died in 1749,^^ and was succeeded in possession of

About the time of his death the farm contained 154 acres and
was improved by a one-story frame dwelling house, 24 by 18
feet, with a back entry and kitchen, 28 t)y 16 feet, and a stone
springhouse, ten feet square.*"* No doubt this was the spring-
house which was still in place not a great many years ago at
the foot of the hill on which stands the present Bishop's House,
the residence of the Right Reverend Noble C. Powell. The
spring over which this springhouse stood, ran into Edwards'
Run (Sumwalt Run) . Joseph Merryman's dwelling house is
said to have occupied part of the site of the stone mansion
" Nicholas Haile, of York County, Va., planter, made a power of attorney to
Dr. Thomas Roots, of Lancaster County, Va., in 1654. There is little doubt that
he was the same person as that Mr. Nicholas Heale to whom was granted, 18
May, 1660, 738 acres on the N. W. branch of Corotoman River in Lancaster
County. (Cavaliers and Pioneers, by Nell Marion Nugent, Richmond, Va., 19S4,
p. 569.) To this not inconsiderable estate were added by patent, 18 May, 1666,
234 acres more, (ibid., p. 569) . The patentee this time is called " Hale." The
will of Margaret George, of Lancaster County, Va., dated 8 Feb., 1668, is wit-
nessed by Nicholas Healee ^) , Gecwge Healee (sic) and Richard Mereman
(Merryman?). (Abstracts of Lancaster Cewity Wills, Virginia, 1653-1800, by

to have been a son of Nicholas Haile or Hale. (Heale family of Lancaster
County, Va., William and Mary College Quarterly First Series, Vo. XVII, pp.
296, 299) . He executed a power of attorney, Nov. 8, 1677 (ibid.) . He was a
J. P. of Lancaster County in 1684, and presented that county in the Virginia
House of Burgesses in 1695 and in 1697 {Ibid) . He died in 1697. One of his
sons was named Nicholas, (ibid, and Abstracts of Lancaster County Wills, op.

In a deposition made in the year 1707 he gave his age as fifty years. (Md. Hist.
Mag., Vol. 23, p. 200) . This author inclines to the view that he was a son of
the above-mentioned George Heale (sometimes Hale). It is worthy of note that
be had a con samed George.

1869, together with a part of the patrimonial estate/* which,
although small, at the time stretcfeed from York Road to Stony
Run, By that time the ©id fAme -wm divided into many par-
cels, of which quite a number erf Ae owners were Merrymans.
In fact, as late as 1876 seven (rf them were Merrymans."^ This,
in view of the ever increasing pressure of suburbanization, and
the restlessness of Americans, is quite a remarkable record,
going back, as it does, to 1688. In 1926 the last parcel of " Mer-
ryman's Lott " still owned by a person of Merryman blood was
sold to a company which was organized to build an apartment
house on the site.**
Ridgely's Whim
Charles Merryman, the younger, entered into possession of,
and settled on, " Merryman's Beginning " apparently without
a deed from his father,*^ and died before him, in 1722. In his
will, bearing date, 25th of December, 1720, he left " Merry-
man's Beginning " to his sons, William Merryman and Charles
Merryman, jointly, styling this land his " dwelling planta-
tion." These sons sold " Merryman's Beginning " to Cap-
tain (later Colonel) Charles Ridgely (c. 1702-1772) for
whom, on February 4th, 1744 it was resurveyed into an ex-
tensive tract of land, containing 990 acres, which he called
" Ridgely's Whim." The vacant land, which was included
in this resurvey, ran to 720 acres. Something more than half
of this " vacancy " lies outside the Stony Run watershed, and

takes in a considerable part of Roland Park lying west of
Roland Avenue. To this estate Captain Ridgely added, before
1750, a tract of land, containing 225 acres, called "Job's Ad-
dition " (now included in Homeland) . About the time
when he took ittp " Ridgely's Wfeim," he acquired, in another
part of the county, " Northampton," " Hampton Court " and
" Oakhampton," names which suggested that of " Hampton,"
the well known landed estate of the Ridgelys of later years.
His son, Charles, built the Hampton mansion, which stands
on "Northampton." By 1750 Captain Ridgely owned, approxi-
mately, 7249 acres in Baltimore County, according to the Bal-
timore County Debt Book of that year.
In his will, dated April 1, 1772, Colonel Charles Ridgely
bequeathed to his daughter, Rachel Ridgely, all that remain-
ing part of " Ridgely's Whim " xvhich had not already been
conveyed by deed of gift to his daughter, Achsah Chamier, for-
merly Caman." Rachel Ridgely (1734-1813), married Colonel
Darby Lux {c. 1741-1795), of "Mount Airy,"" Baltimore
County, by whom she had three daughters, namely: Ann Lux,
who married Colonel Thomas Deye Cockey (c. 1762-1813) ;
Rachel Lux (1762-1810), who married James McCormick, Jr.
(1764-1841) ; and Rebecca Lux, who married George Risteau.
Colonel and Mrs. Cockey had an only child, Frances Thwaites
Cockey (1794-Dec. 28, 1873) , who married Dr. Edward Fen-
dall {c. 1787-1835), of Baltimore City, a native of Charles
County, Maryland, and one of Baltimore's earliest dentists.
In 1777 Colonel and Mrs. Lux sold 10|- acres, part of " Rid-
gely's Whim," to Robert Riddle, a Baltimore merchant, who
has many descendants. In 1780 the same property,'^ on Stony
Run, was purchased by Abraham Van Bibber, who," in 1782

Hall Pleasants, grandson ot Thomas Pcmtaey, gave me this information. In
the Federal Gazette and Baltimore Daily Advertiser of May 6, 1796, Rachel Lux
offered for sale the plantation of the late Darby Lux, " near Towson's Tavern "

purchased of Darby and Mrs. Lux 54f acres more, adjoining
his first purchase.'" This property, so acquired, was part of the
mill seat Paradise Mill, as we shall see later.
That which remained of " Hidgely's Whim " in the posses-
sion of Mrs. Lux was estimated, a. 1799, to contain 610 acres,''
but was later found to contain 528 acres. It is described,
c. 1799, as being situated " above the mill of Ab.™ Van Bib-
ber, Esq." (Paradise Mill), this with reference to Stony Run.'*
In 1799, or thereabouts, the improvements on this extensive
estate, which was then in the occupation of Mrs. Lux's son-in-
law, Thomas Dcye Cockey, were modest to say the least: a log
dwelling house, one story high, 20 by 14 feet; a log kitchen,
16 by 14 feet; a log stable and " negro houses." " A large part
of the estate was probably at that time still in woods. Frag-
ments of these woods are still to be observed in Blythewood.
These woodlands and the northeastern corner of Roland Park,
where numerous old forest trees still stand, have never been
cultiavted by white men. In 1799 this property of the Lux
family must have been for the most part, difficult of access.
That aspect of its situation chaȤed radically in 1806, when
Cold Spring Lane was laid out.*"
On September 25th, 1797, Mrs. Lux gave bond to her son-
in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Deye (jockey, to
make over to them one half of what remained of " Ridgely's
Whim " in her possession, a contract which she made good on
October 1st, 1803.*^ On April 17, 1802, a division line was run
by James Bouldin, the county surveyor.*^ The northern half
of the property was allotted to the Cockeys; the southern half
fell to the McCormicks. Each part contained 264 acres.

Ignoring the sale of small parcels of land as of no interest to
the reader, let us now take up the history of the McCormick
subdivision of " Ridgely's Whim," the patrimony of the Mc-
Cormidc ¥"amily.
James McCormick, a Baltimore merchant, was bom in
County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1763. He came to America soon
after the close of the Revolution and died in Washington,
D. C, June 6, 1841. His first wife, Rachel Ridgely Lux, died
in 1810. By her he had two sons, William Lux McCormick
and John Pleasants McCormick (1799-1868). The former mar-
ried Esther Hough Cottman, daughter of Lazarus Cottman, of
Somerset County, Md., and the latter married her sister, Ann
Elizabeth Cottman. A portrait of James McCormick and fam-
ily, by Joshua Johnston, the Negro artist, is in the possession
of the Maryland Historical Society.'*
On December 13, 1802, James McCormick and wife con-
veyed to Abraham Van Bibber, for the sum of |9742, 187 acres,
part of " Merryman's Beginning " and " Ridgley's Whim "
(the first named was, as we have seen, included in the sec-
ond) , " excepting out of the undivided moiety of the said
James and Rachel and out of the moiety divided and located
on the plat 77 acres of land being the 77 [acres] on the plat
annexed [see note 82] with the words Willia Bowen wrote
thereon, which the said James and Rachel had heretofore sold
and laid off for said Bowen, the fee in which remains in them
and is not intended to be sold or conveyed " [author's italics];
" and also all their and each of their right .... in and to the
lands on which said Van Bibbers mill is erected and to all
their and each of their right. . . .in and to ' Ridgely's Whim '
and ' Merryman's Beginning,' except the 77 acres aforesaid."'*
No deed from McCormick to Bowen has been found, and
Bowen nowhere subsequently appears to having any claim on
deeds seem to bear out this author's opinion that this division line was later
followed by Cold Spring Lane.
" For these details I am indebted to the late Dr. J. Hall Pleasants. See his
notes on the McCormick family portraits, manuscript banging to the Md. Hist.
Society.

these 77 acres. This small estate was " Hebron," the country
seat of the McCormicks for many years. It stretched, origin-
ally, from Cold Spring Lane southwards as far as 40th Street,
and from Hawthorn Road along Cold Spring Lane westwards
across Roland Avenue to the far side of Evam Chapel Road,
until the land now lying west of Roland Avenue was sold off.
Abraham Van Bibber's 187 acres formed the bulk of his Par-
adise Farm (later called " Kensington ") , which surrounded
his Paradise Mill {q.v.) .
On April 14, 1840, William L. McCormick and Esther H.
McCormick, his wife, sold to Jeremiah Tittle all his one-fourth
part of 80 acres, part of " Ridgely's Whim," which he held in
right of his late mother, subject to a life estate of his father,
James McCormick therein, for the sum of $800.00; and on
January 23, 1841, Tittle sold the land back to McCormick for
$1 000.00.'" In the later deed the land conveyed is described
as " 1/4 part of a tract of land called Hebron or Ridgely's
Whim." Sidney and Brown's Map of Baltimore City and Coun-
ty, 1850, shows the residence of J. McCormick on the south-
em side of Cold Spring Lane west of Stony Run. On April
29, 1853, John P. McCormick and wife leased to Francis H.
Jencks of Baltimore City, for the term of ninety-nine years,
in consideration of the sum of $148.43 and a yearly rent of
$240.00, part of " Ridgley's Whim," containing 33 acres and
30 square perches of land.'^ That part of " Hebron " which
remained in the occupancy of the McCormick Family lay in
the middle between the land sold to Van Bibber and the land
leased to Jencks. In his will, dated 17 April 1860, John Pleas-
ants McCormick left to his wife " the farm or tract of land in
Baltimore County on which I reside called Hebron, contain-
ing about 40 acres in fee." To his nephew, James L. McCor-
mick, son of his brother, he left " all my interest in 33 acres
and 30 perches of land in Baltimore County leased to Francis

her will, dated 21 December, 1866, Elizabetli Ann McCormick,
widow o£ J. P. McCormick, leaves to Stewart Brown and Fred-
erick Brune, for the benefit of her great-nephew, Thomas P.
McCOTmidi, until he comes of age, " wtf feriffl or property in
Baltimore County consisting of about twenty-four acres of land
called Hebron." On November 6, 1861; John P. McCormick
and wife sold to Charles Reese sonSfCtliing over 16 acres of
land, part of " Ridgely's Whim," situated two miles from Bal-
timore City, bounded on the north by the Public Road lead-
ing from the York Turnpike Road to the Falls Turnpike Road
(Cold Spring Lane) , a distance of 960 feet, and on the east
by " Gibson " (part of Paradise Farm) Mrs. McCormick
released a mortgage on this property to Mr. Reese, 17 May,
1862, which was then the place of residence of Mr. Reese,
" formerly called Hebron and now called Elsinore." ®- Messrs.
Brune and Stewart, Mrs. McCormick's executors, being em-
powered under the terms of a codicil to sell part or all of
" Hebron " which she had willed to Thomas P. McCormick,
accordingly did sell two small parcels of this farm, one to Ed-
ward M. Greenway, the other to David G. Mcintosh. They
deeded, on June 2, 1873, all that remained of " Hebron" in
the family, 16^ acres, to Thomas P. McCormick, who had
recently come of age." On August 8, 1881, Mr. McCormick
sold this property, " being part nf a tract of land called " Heb-
ron," to Elizabeth Lee, of Baltimore County, for a consider-
ation of $6,600.00.** In this way the McCormicks parted com-
pany with the last parcel of land which descended to them
through the Lux family from Colonel Charles Ridgely. Some
time before 1886 Mr. Thomas H. Hanson, a Baltimore man
of affairs and philanthropist, acquired this small estate, which
he called "Wilton Villa." In that year he made a deed of gift
of seven acres of this property to the trustees of St. Mary's
Female Orphan Asylum, on which new buildings to house

Mrs. Fendall'5 Inheritance
Upon the death of her father, Mr. Cockey, in 1813, Mrs.
Fendall came into possesion of 264 acres, part of " Ridgely's
Whim." Some small part of this land lay west of Evans Chapel
Road, in Roland Park. The remainder included all the land
formerly bounded by Evans Chapel Road, Wyndhurst Avenue
(then called Cedar Lane) , Stony Run and Cold Spring Lane.
East of Stony Run it took in almost all of " Attica," lately the
Robert Garrett estate, and " Blythewood," but did not include
all of " Linkwood," the estate of the late Dr. Hugh Hampton
Young, or the Crocker property. These properties belonged
to " Paradise Farm."

During the lifetime of Dr. Fendall, Mrs. Fendall disposed
of all of her land situated to the eastward of Stony Run, and
her land lying west of Evans Chapel Road. On July 19, 1815,
Dr. and Mrs. Fendall conveyed to David Jones 40 acres of
land, being part of " Ridgely's Whim," situated on both sides
of Stony Run, but mostly on its eastern side, including the

This and adjoining land, forming one property, were advertised for sale in
the Baltimore American of March 16, 1815, by one William Vance, a Baltimore
engineer, who must have been an agent for the Fendalls. The property is
described as follows: "100 acres of land with a mill seat, situated between the
York and the Falls Turnpike Roads, about A mile from each, in a very agree-
able and healthy [sic] situation, commanding an extensive view of the environs
of the Bay. The chief part oi the said land is heavity tiwbered, a never iailtng

This small farm was called " Cedar Grove." Within its limits
at the intersection of Kendall and Wilmslow Roads, in Ro-

was the residence of Mr. and Itlts. Malcolm Marty. Accord-

WOODLAWN
An interesting article by the late B. Latrobe Weston, en-
titled " Before Roland Park," appeared in the Baltimore Eve-
ning Sun of May 8th, 1934. Mr. Weston goes into the history
of two farms, or estates, " Oakland," 264 acres, and " Wood-
lawn," 117 acres. The former is, in large part, composed of
that part of " Ridgley's Whim " whidi Charles Ridgley gave
to his daup;hter Mrs. Chamier (see under "Ridgley's Whim ").
It lies outside the Stony Run watershed and does not concern
us. " Woodlawn," says Mr. Weston, was purchased of " the
said place wiM be divided into two lots if required, one with the mill seat and
the other which k heavily timbered, is said to contain very rich iron ore." In
the Baltimore American of April 15th, same year, this same tract of land is
again advertised. Applicants are advised to apply to P. Launay or to Dr. Fen-
dall, Gay Street. This notice mentions the possibilities of the " great fall " of
water. The chief part is said to be " heavily timbered "; the rest in " young
and thriving timber." The property lies f of a mile from Baltimore Town.
The deed from Fendall to Jones is recorded in Baltimore County Land Records,
Liber W. G. No. 134, t. 29.
"'The author interviewed Mr. Marty on March 18, 1944, who most kindly
gave him the following information:
Mr. Marty has seen a newspaper advertisement of the year 1815 (which I
overlooked) in which the property in questkm ii described >s improved by a
" modem stone house," a barn and an ice pond. Mr. and Mrs. Marty have a
letter they received from a descendant of David Jon«, hi Which the writer says
that he (Mr. Jones) tmilt the house then standing. Mr. and Mrs. Marty owned
one acre of ground on which the house stood. This house may well be the oldest
building in the Stony Run valley, which, to be sure, is not saying very much.

chant engaged in sugar refining, who built a residence on the
property. The entrance to his farm was marked by a gate-
house, which stood near the present intersection of Roland Ave-
nue and Eliaharst Kmed. Mr. Wewtw fmaitioiis the coftj^der-
able lake (which was partly included within the limits of this
farm) , which was used for boating and fitshing.^"" This pond,
or small lake, was the largest of the three ponds which, in the
past century, were situated on Stony Run, between Wyndhurst
Avenue and Cold Spring Lane. Mr. Weston goes on to tell
how Mr. Woods sold " Woodlawn " to Richard Capron in
1874, who years later conveyed it to the Roland Park Com-
pany. According to Mr. Weston, " Woodlawn," extended to
" Cross Keys," on the western side of Evans' Chapel Road.
The original "Woodlawn," part of " Ridgely's Whim," came
out of the 264 acres of her grandfather Ridgely's estate which
belonged to Mrs. Edward Fendall. The name is commemor-
ated by W^oodlawn Road. "Woodlawn" lay within the area
bounded by Stony Run, Cold Spring Lane, Evans Chapel
Road and Cedar Lane, later known as Wyndhurst Avenue,
and contained about 135 acres. The old Woodlawn house, resi-
dence of the Woods family, stood, until about thirty years ago,
on the north west corner of Woodlawn and Upland Roads, in
Roland Park, on the site (unless I am very much mistaken)
of the Fendall house. It was a frame house.
Years after the death of Dr. Fendall ^"^ his widow began div-
iding up " Woodlawn " and deeding it away in lots. On March
9, 1863, she sold to Edward M. Greenway some 24 acres, part
of " Ridgely's Whim," which is described in the deed as the
land which Rachel Lux, in 1803, conveyed to Mrs. Fendall,
" subject to a life interest in her mother, Anne Cockey."
The land so conveyed bounds for a third of a mile on Evans
Chapel Road and for 23 perches on Cedar Avenue (Wynd-

water wheel on Stony Run for the purpose o£ pumping water
from a spring. This spring rose in the hollow now partly occu-
pied by Park Lane, Roland Park, where Park Lane and Kes-

Greenway conveyed this land to Hiram Woods, Jr."^
The name of " Woodlawn" dates from the time of the Fen-
dalls. Although there is an Irish "Woodlawn""* our "Wood-
lawn " probably has no connection with any place in Great
Britain. The reader will find the words " Woodlawn— Mrs. Fen-
dall-" in that area of Robert Taylor's Map of Baltimore City
and County (1857) which is bounded by Evans Chapel Road
(so named). Cold Spring Lane (not named), Wyndhurst Ave-
nue (then called Cedar Lane, but not named) , and Charles
Street (so named) , then but recently laid out. Evans Chapel
Road is shown in its entirety, from Cold Spring Lane to the road
now called Lake Avenue, at "J. W. Wards— Poplar Hill." Years
later, the greater part of this old road was absorbed, so to speak,
by Roland Avenue.
On October .^0, 1863, Mr. Woods purchased of Mrs. Fen-
dall some 15 acres of " Ridgely's Whim," adjoining the land
he had acquired of Mr. Greenway,^ and on May 10th of the
following year Mrs. Fendall sold him 33;^ acres more, adjacent
to his first purchase.^"* These lands, with some additions which
need not detain us, made up his " Woodlawn " farm. He sold
it, 19 May, 1875, for a consideration of $100,000.00 to Mrs.
Laura Lee Capron, wife of Richard J. Capron.^"^ That the Ro-

On May 1 1, 1863, Mrs. Fendall deeded to George Goldsmith
Presbury, Jr., 22f acres of " Ridgely's Whim," bounded on the
north by " an avenue leading from Charles Street Avenue "
to Evans Chapel Road (this was Wyndhurst Avenue) and on
the south by Samuel A. S. Kyle's part of the same land."^ On
November 4, 1864, she deeded to Anne E. Kyle (her daugh-
ter, wife of Samuel A. S. Kyle), 17 acres, part of "Ridgely's
Whim." This land, to judge by her deed to Presbury, was
already in the possession of the Kyles. It was bounded by tlie
land sold to Presbury, the land sold to Chapman, the land sold
by Greenway to Woods, and the land of Mr. Edmondson
(" Blythewood "). As far as I can make out, this property and
the property deeded to Chapman were the last portions of
" Ridgely's Whim " in the possession of Mrs. Fendall.
In her will, dated 18 May, 1868, in which she describes her-
self as a resident of Baltimore City, Mrs. Fendall expresses a
desire to be buried " in the family burying ground at Wood-

On June 12th, 1866, Mr. Presbury sold to Mr. Woods the
23| acres, part of " Ridgely's Whim," which he bought of Mrs.
Fendall.^" Ownership of the pond was thereby divided.
When it was intact, this Yt&nA (or " lake," as it was some-
times called) must have been a thing of considerable beauty.
Photographs of the two lesser ponds, situated a little farther
downstream, both on " Blythewftod," show lovely sheets of
water, with beautiful suiroundings. Unfortunately about 1876,
a narrow gauge railway (later the Maryland and Pennsylvania)
was built from Baltimore up the valley of Stony Run. It crossed
the lake from south to north, destroying (there can be no rea-
sonable doubt) whatever charm it may have possessed. This
pond and the " Paradise Mill " pcmd were, in my opinion, the
largest ponds ever built in this valky. The Presbury pond was
six hundred feet long and its extreme width was not less than
two hundred feet.^^®
WiNDHURST OR AtTICA
On the western side of Charles Street Avenue, between
Wyndhurst Avenue and Cold Spring Lane, there were, until
lately, three comparatively old countryseats, " Windhurst,"
later " Attica," " Blythewood " and Crocker's, which last, as
far as I have been able to find out, had no name either fancy,
historical, or realistic. "Blythewood" was the first to be, sub-
divided. " Wyndhurst " is a variation, but scarcely an improve-
ment, on " Windhurst," if, as I believe, they were not pro-
nounced alike."" The Robert Garretts, called it " Attica," the
Bakers called it " Windhurst," and George G. Presbury, it is
said, called it " Eagles." It is now the seat of Boumi Tem-
ple, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The
impressive Baker -Garrett mansion has been pulled down.
" Attica " and the northern part of " Blythewood " came out
of a tract of land, containing 56| acres, probably a small farm,

Brooklyn, New York, sold this estate, together with an adja-
cent part of " Vauxhall," to the Rev. James Joseph Dolan, for
15000.^^^ In less than thirty years this property had had four
owners, and the end of this short-term ownership was not yet.
The same year Father Dolan purchased of Mrs. Mary Linthi-
cum, trustee, lands adjoining his first purchase on the east. His
second purchase included all the northern part of the Notre
Dame School and Convent grounds, and was mostly part of
"Job's Addition." In 1850 he deeded all these lands to the
Trustees of the Orphans' Home.^^*
Father Dolan, a native of Ireland, was a man of ideas and
ideals. He built the Orphans' Home with borrowed capital,
in 1847. The Home was not incorporated until 1849.^^* The
inmates of the Home were expected to work on the farm,
which was said to be in a neglected condition. The site of the

section of this road is still in use under the name of Notre

spring on this property was blessed, and seminary students
used to visit it in order to drink of its waters."^ This spring,
situated a short distance soathejwt of tht site of the Garrett
mansion, near Charles Street, has been covered over, but the
old springhouse which sheltered it is undoubtedly the one now
standing. This springhouse is shown (I believe) on Hopkins'
Atlas of Baltimore and its Environs, 1876^^^
The estate lately known as " Attica " was the seat of the
Orphans' Home for thirteen years, if we begin with Father
Dolan's deed from Dr. Duck. On Noven^r 8, 1860, the
Trustees of the Orphans' Home sold this property, containing
38 acres, and composed of parts of " Ridgely's Whim," " Gift
Resurveyed " and " Mount Pleasant," to William B. Duvall,
Jr., for a consideration of $38,000."* The two tracts of land
last named lay, respectively, the one along Cold Spring Lane,
the other along Charles Street Avenue. During these thirteen
years the value of the property had greatly increased, owing in
part to the extension of Charles Street Avenue, in 1854, and
perhaps to the laying-out of Cedar Lane, now Wyndhurst
Ave., but chiefly, I believe, to the erection of a substantial
building, the Orphans' Home, itself.
In purchasing this estate Mr. Duvall bought back into the
possession of the Ridgley family that part of " Ridgely's Whim "
of which it was largely composed, but only for a brief spell.
His first wife, whom he married December 12, 1837, was
From Miss Martha C. Bokel I obtained the following information: Notre
Dame Lane runs from the York Road to the east side of the Notre Dame pro-
perty, a short distance west of the site of the Albert (Cedar Lawn) Lake. It
was orginally called Church Lane, and went to the Orphans Home.
This information was given me by the late Mr. J. Paul Baker, who was
born in 1863, and went to live on " Windhurst," the name his father gave to
the Orphans Home property, in 1865, when the elder Mr. Baker bought it.
This gentleman was William Sebastian Graff Baker, who died about 1920, at

George Gouldsmith Presbury, Jr., the fourth of that name,
was a man of excellent family, according to Maryland stand-
ards of his time. He belonged to that branch of the Presburys
of " Elk Neck," Harford County, which owned and resided
upon an extensive estate situated on the Baltimore County
side of Gunpowder River, above CHiver Point.^'^ This estate
was called " Surveyor's Point," the old name for Oliver Point.
He was the son of George Gouldsmith Presbury, III, and his
wife, Sarah Howard, daughter of Thomas Gassaway Howard,
Esq. of " Bloomfield," Baltimore County, ancestors of the
Duchess of Windsor. Mr. Presbury engaged in the hotel busi-
ness. He owned, it is said, a hotel in Philadelphia and a hotel
in Cape May. During the season at Cape May chilling east
winds were wont to blow and chilly days occurred, especially
as autumn and closing-time drew nigh. The late J. Paul Baker
told me that the resourceful Mr. Presbury met this situation
by appearing before his guests attired in light summer cloth-
ing, while (unknown to theia, but, perhaps suspected by some)
he had on " two or three suits of heavy undenvear." I am
imder the impression that after selling " Windhurst," or " Ea-
gles . . ." as he is said to have called it, he went to live in the
North. I am informed that he married a Miss Lusby.^'* Except
I do not find this road (Wyndhurst) on any map prior to 1860; but I think
it may be eoRsiderably older. My opinion to that it was a farm lane, giving accew
to the Alder farm, which occupied the northern side of Cedar Lane between
Roland Avenue and Stony Run, being part of " Vauxhall," and was called Cherry
Hill.

The property later known as " Windhurst," and later still
as " Attica," came into the possession of William Sebastian Graff
Baker in 1865. He purchased it of George G. Presbury, Jr., for a
consideration of sixty thousand dollars, and it contained a little
over thirty-eight acres.^*' Mr. B*ker died about 1920, at the
age of eighty-three. His wife was EMzabeth Zanzinger Cockey.
In 1945 I had the pleasure of interviewing his son, the late
J. Paul Baker, who was then in his eighty-third year and who
died a few years later. Mr. Baker was born in Baltimore and
went to live at "Windhurst" (as the Bakers called it) in 1865.
At that time Wyndhurst Road, according to Mr. Baker, was a
country lane bordered by cedar trees, and was called Cedar
Lane. Mr. Baker showed me an old photograph of " Wind-
hurst." Since this photograph was taken the aspect of the house
was considerably altered, but it appeared to this author to have
been, in the time of the Bakers, of the same size as it is today.
It was four stories high. Mr. Baker told me that his father
had been obliged to rebuild one of the walls of " Windhurst "
which rested on an old foundation. At the time of this inter-
view I was of the opinion that George Gouldsmith Presbury
built " Attica " or " Windhurst." Mr. Baker agreed with this
theory, but said he thought Mr. Presbury had erected the man-
sion on the foundations of the Orphans' Home. He added
that the Garretts had made considerable improvements in the
house. The Rev. Paul E. Meyer, the author of the History of
Saint Mary's Church, Govanstown, was of the opinion that
the Orphans' Home stood on the site of the Garrett mansion.
There are no ruins or extensive foundations on this property
which might be the remains of the Home. I, myself, have come
around to the opinion that the Garrett mansion was the Or-
phans' Home, altered so as to make it into a convenient fam-
ily residence. There is reason to believe that it was not built

WKty the Duvalls built " Attica."
Mr. Baker's father sold " Windhurst " to the late Robert
Garrett in 1906.^*° The property remained in the possession
of this distinguished gentleman for over fifty years. It was a
" show-place," the seat of culture and the scene of elegant
hospitality.
Blythewood
This beautiful name is probably not fanciful in its origin,
as some people tnight be led to suppose. Blythewood and
Blythswood are the names of British family seats. Blythwood is
the name of a family seat and post-town near Maidenhead,
Berkshire. Blythswood is the name of a seat on the south bank
of the Clyde, below Renfrew, in Scotland."^
On May 10th, 1667, (Colonel) John Duglas (Douglas) took
up " Blithwood," on the north side of the Potomac River, in
Charles County, Maryland.^^^ This gentleman was a direct
ancestor of Mrs. George Weems Williams, who for the past
forty years has lived on Baltimore's Blythewood, in a beauti-
ful house which occupies the site of the Blythewood bam. This
is a very interesting coincidence. It is not unlikely that Col.
John Douglas named his survey for a family seat in Scotland.^**
A Baltimorean, Joseph A. Edmondson, who died May 16, 1891,
at the age of seventy-three, named our local Blythewood. From
a letter, addressed by his grandson, J. Hooper Edmondson, to
George Weems Williams, dated November 17, 1932, we gather
This infoimation is taken from a letter addressed to the author by Mr.
Garrett from Lake Placid Club, Essex County. New York, 15 July, 1944: " When
1 brought the property in 190is," the letter reads, " there was a frame cottage
near my bam (which still stmids) . The cottage however was torn down and
in its place was built the present stone house near the southern boundary. The
main house, the bam and the frame cottage were the only buildings on the
property in 1906— except a stone spring-house."
^•^ The author is very much indebted to Mrs. George Weems Williams, who
lives on part of Blythewood, for aid in preparing this chapter, particularly for
the loan of Mr. Edmondson's letters to her late husband and for photographs
of the two Blythewood ponds. The author is also indebted to Mr. James R.
Edmunds, 3rd, another resident on Blythewood, for valuable information.

the following information: " I think my grandfather saw the
name [Blythewood] somewhere in the Lake region of England
when he was there in the early 1860's and adopted it."
Except for a small strip of land along Charles Street Ave-
nue, "Blythewood" is wholly included In "Ridgely's Whim,"
and most of it is included in that part of " Ridgley's Whim "
which was surveyed for Charles Merryman, Jr., February 5th,
1704, and called "Merryman's Beginning." On September 24,
1861, the Rev. James Joseph Dolan and the Trustees of the
Orphans' Home conveyed 15J acres to Joseph A. Edmond-
son."* February 1, 1866, Mr. Edmondson bought 32 acres of
William C. Conine and wife."' These lands, including a very
small parcel purchased of Mrs. Fendall, composed the estate to
which Mr. Edmondson gave the name of " Blythewood." The
Conine property included a tract of some 18 acres purchased
by Stephen Broadbent, Jr., of Sarah Jones, widow, July 17,
1860,^^* and was part of the farm known as Cedar Grove {q.v.).
Mr. Edmondson caused three houses to be built on " Blythe-
wood," one for himself and one for each of his two sons. One
of them, built partly of stone and partly of wood, and still
standing, has had many owners, and is remembered as the
Rulon-Miller house.
The northernmost of the three houses, a frame building, was
pulled down in 1926. On its site was built, for the late Mrs.
John Oilman and her daughter, the late Mrs. D'Arcy Paul,
after designs drawn by Charles Adams Piatt (1861-1933), the
large and beautiful mansion, now the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Hambleton Ober. The third house, still standing, which was
separated from the others by Blythewood Road, was erected in
1867, and is the home of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Edmunds,
Junior.***
In conclusion, we quote, in part, Mr. Edmondson's letter to
Mr. Williams, which is mentioned above. Referring to one of
several photographs of the Blythewood lakes which were in the
possession of Mr. Williams, Mr. Edmondson says:
If there was a Blythewood in the Lake District, Bartholomew's Gazeteer
{op. cit.) does not mention it.

As to the picture of water flowing over the dam, this shows the
dam at the south end of the " upper lake " just after a heavy rain.
This lake was on the northerly part of Blythewood, oval in shape
and parallel with the R.R. It was about 175 feet long by 100 feet
wide and was formed by damming the stream, Stoney Run. Its
purpose, ornamental in part, was more particularly to operate an
overshot wheel and rsim which forced the household water up to a
cistern in the top of the northernmost of the three houses on top
of the hill. This water came from a natural spring across the R.R.
in what is now Roland Park and was piped under the track over
to the wheel house and thence forced up to the house. Stoney Run
flowed from here south about 409 fefet under a wagon bridge, to
the " lower lake " which was much larger, about 375 feet by 150
and was formed by another and much larger dam, perhaps eight
feet high, made of straie and topped with slabs of slate brought
down from the quarries at Delta, Pennsylvania. Here too was a
wheel house and ram which forced the same spring water up to the
other two houses on top of the hill, in the upper of which my
grandfather lived and we occupied the lower. This lake was stocked
with fish, carp, mullets, &c. and had a boat. We got ice here for
the two ice houses until we feared the water was polluted from
Roland Park. This lake began to fill up about 1906 in the upper
end but was still undimini^ed in size -v^m we soH the upper one-
third of Blythewood to John W. (Jarrett in 1907. Hie balance was
conveyed to him in 1910.

dwelling houses.
Homeland
" Homeland," the estate of the Ferine family, containing
391 acres, was sold by the heirs of the late Elias Glenn Ferine
(June 14, 1829-June 15, 1922) to the Roland Park Company,
in 1924, for a consideration of not less than one million dol-
lars. This eminent company " developed " the estate, retain-
ing the name, " Homeland," by which it had been known
since 1835. Before 1835 it was called "Job's Addition." The
family graveyard of the Perines was removed from " Home-
land " in 1922, in anticipation, no doubt, of the sale of the
property. The 78-year-old mansion was razed in 1924.
" Homeland " is composed of divers tracts, and parts of
368

tracts, of land, including: part of " Job's Addition "; part of
Vauxhall " (the land west of Charles Street Avenue) ; part of
" Friend's Discovery " (lying north of Belvedere Avenue) ;
" Bryan's Meadows " and " AMftwSn to Bryaif s Meadows re-
surveyed " (between the Homeland branch of Stony Run and
the York Road) ; " Hannah's Lott " and part of " Sheredine's
Discovery."
The kernel of " Homeland " k a tract of 150 acres, part of
" Job's Addition." On it, upon the same site, have stood all
of the four known dwelling houses of its owners. This piece
of land is nearly a parallelogram, bounded on the north by Bel-
vedere Avenue, on the west by Charles Street Avenue, and on
the south by Homeland Avenue. On its eastern side its bounds
keep close to the course of the Homeland stream. The south-
ern part of " Job's Addition " lies below Homeland Avenue
and has a different history, which will presently be taken up.
" Job's Addition," 225 acres, was surveyed for Job Evans,
August 24th, 1695, who assigned it to James Butler, by whom
it was patented.*°° Evans was the patentee of " Friend's Dis-
covery," 1000 acres. In 1746 Leonard Decauss and Jane Bour-
dillon, separately, conveyed their rights in this land to Charles
(later Colonel) Ridgley, the patentee of " Ridgely's Whim."
In 1797 William Buchanan bought 150 acres, part of "Job's
Addition," of Rebecca Ridgely."^

Historical Society:

The information which follows, and some of the information
which has already been given, is taken from a superb illustrated
history of " Homeland," compiled by the late Washington
Ferine, a son of Elias Glenn Ferine. This history, which is in
manuscript, is a true labor of love. A copy of it may be seen in
the library of the Maryland Historical Society:
" Homeland " was named by David Maulden Ferine. The
original entrance (before Charles Street Avenue was extended
through "Homeland," in 1854) was a narrow roadway lead-
ing in from the York Road at Govanstown. In 1839 Mr. Ferine
took down the original, frame dwelling house [it was actually
partly of stone], built before 1797, and built, upon the same
site, a stone house of about 100 feet feet front, with front and
rear porches to the second story each supported by six col-
umns. Robert Cary L(Hig was its architect, and it cost about
$40,000. It burned down on the night of March 7-8th, 1843,
while the family was living in the city for the winter. The fire
was supposed to have been of incendiary origin. Not discour-
aged, Mr. Ferine had plans drawn for another mansion, to be
erected on the same site. This house was finished in 1846, and
stood for seventy-eight years.
The ornamental " lakes," or more properly ponds, on Home-
wood, which have not been drained and are still things of
beauty, were dug in 1843. A conduit was at that time con-
370
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
structed from the head-springs of the Homeland stream to the
head of a hollow a short distance north of the mansion (where
no doubt there was a spring). This conduit supplied the man-
sksi smd its outbiiiMi^s witli waier. The sur^iis Jkmed
down the hollow into the first of a chain o£ lakes lower down
the valley. This conduit was 2100 feet long, and, in one place,
seventeen feet under-ground. There were, in all, six lakes or
ponds. One of them, which Mr. Ferine calls the " third," was
named " the Banjo Pond." They were not intended for swim-
ming, but were used as ice-ponds. The last, or lowest, pond
was stocked with fish. Their usefulness was incidental, how-
ever. Primarily, they were built for the purpose of beautifying
the estate, and reflected great credit on the taste of the pro-
prietor, for they must have cost a tidy sum. The springs which
supplied the water for these water works and ponds were, pre-
sumably never failing, so long as " Homeland " was a farm, all
fields and woods; but now that the old estate is covered with
houses and roads, this is no longer the case, and city water
must be introduced in dry weather, to keep the ponds from
going dry.
The extension of Charles Street Avenue through " Home-
land," in 1854, destroyed a number of apple trees in an or-
chard planted about 1800. The logs of these old trees were
kept in storage, until 1902, when they were turned over to a
cabinet maker and made into dining-room chairs. The Mary-
land Historical Society is the owner of two of these chairs. On
the back of each one is carved a representation of one of the
two mansions designed by Robert Gary Long, which stood on
" Homewood."

Among the " real " country people— early settlers of the
Stony Run valley, or watershed, and their immediate descen-

List of Patapsco Lower Hundred, Baltimore County, c. 1799-
1800, credits James Bryan with 600 acres, of which, according
to my estimate, more than half was within the confines of this
valley, all in one farm. This big farm descended, altnoft in-
tact, to his son, Charles Bryan, who died in 1837. I have in
hand a copy of a plat of this property of not less than three
hundred acres, made soon alter Cliwri^ Brysai's death (1837),
showing the estate as divided among his wife and children,
according to his will.^°* This farm included the present
" Homeland " east of the Homeland stream; all of the Notre
Dame Academy and Convent estate; all of the Albert country-
place, " Cedar Lawn " (^f.v.) , lying east of the Convent prop-
erty, south of Homeland Avenue; most of " Evergreen," and
lands lying east of that estate to the York Road. It bounded
on the York Road, though not continuously, for over a mile,
and on the site of Charles Street Avenue from Homeland Ave-
nue to the Homeland stream.
Entered in the register of Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore
County, are the dates of birth of the three children of Thurlo
Bryan [or Briant] and his wife, Cicelia, as follows. Benjamin,
born 17 Sept., 1721; Mary, born 17 Jan., 1722; and James, bom
15 April, 1725, of whom presently.
" Bryant's Chance," 50 acres, was surveyed for Henry Mor-
gan, 22 January, 1742, and patented to him 31 August, 1743.
It is described as being situated in Baltimore County, begin-
ning " at two bounded red oaks standing on a hill near a
branch called the Schoolhouse branch which descends into
Jones Falls." In point of fact, this " branch," as we have
already seen, descends into Stony Run, then known as the
Great Run. The place of beginning is on the former Crocker
property, at the northwest comer of Charles Street Avenue
and Cold Spring Lane, now the site of the Charleston Hall
Apartments. As we observed above, the soil at that spot is
exceedingly thin and poor and, apparently, on that account
has been passed by. In the certificate of survey of " Ridgely's
Whim " (g.v.) , which was laid out Febmary 4, 1744, it is

referred to as " Turlo O'Brien's hmd." This O'Brien, in spite
of his Protestant affiliations, was almost certainly an Irishman.
Henry Morgan, the patentee, conveyed " Bryant's Chance " to
James Bryant, February 2md, 1751. It is likely that the elder
O'Brian, Bryan or Bryant was living on the land in question
when Henry Morgan took it up. The date of his death has not
been a^^rtxined. His son, Jam@, sekd it, under the name of
" Bryan's Chance," in 1788, to Abraham Van Bibber, an emi-
nent Baltimore merchant and a man of the best social stand-
ing. It thereby became a part of Van Bibber's " Paradise
Farm," the site of Paradise Mill. Sixty years later the heirs of
Mr. Van Bibber sold part of " Bryan's Chance " and adjacent
parts of " Ridgely's Whim," 14^ acres, to David S. Wilson. This
was the western part of his estate called " Kernwood " (q.v.) .
In both deeds a plot of half an acre is reserved as the burying
ground of the Bryan family. Where is this old graveyard? It
is probably somewhere on the Loyola College grounds. The
patriarch, Thurlo O'Brien, was, in all probability, buried
there. I take it that he was dead by 1750, when Henry Mor-
gan deeded " Bryan's Chance " to his son, James Biy^n. The
late City Surveyor, Edward V. Coonan, who is mentioned
above, told me that Solon Linthicum, whose wife was a
Bryan, showed him this graveyard. Mr. Coonan was bom in
Govanstown.
On October 30, 1756, James Bryan took up " Bryan's Mea-
dows " 98 acres, situated between York Road and " Job's Addi-
tion," the old part of " Homeland," mostly, if not entirely, east
of the Homeland branch, and forming today the greater part
of " Homeland " lying east of that branch.^"' This land is
described as " bounded by elder surveys," but a matter o£ 7f
acres actually lay vacant between it and " Friend's Discovery,"
and, on Nov. 13, 1800, it was resurveyed and given the name
of "Addition to Bryan's Meadows Enlarged." In 1802 Bryan
sold to one James Long, for only sixty dollars, a little piece of
land, situated at the northeastern comer of " Addition to Bry-
Baltimc»re County Land Records, Liber W. G. No. B. B., f. 20. The deed

intersection o£ Homeland Avenue and the York Road."^ In
this deed is mentioned a place called " Cockey's Lane." It
would thus appear very likely that long ago a lane branched
off from York Road at this spot, going through "Job's Addi-
tion " to Thomas Deye Cockey's residence on part of " Ridg-
ely's Whim " (q.v.) . We must remember that in 1802 Cold
Spring Lane did not " exist."
In 1763 James Bryan bought " Wheeler's Lot," 50 acres, of
Maton Wheeler. This land lies on the east side of the York
Road, a little above Cold Spring Lane."" In 1793 he pur-
chased of Robert Gilmor and others. Lot No. 34, 89| acres."^
This " lot " was part of " Sheredine's Discovery " (q.v.) , a vast,
sprawling tract of land, probably at one time a " barrens," once
the property of the Principio Company and confiscated soon
after the American Revolution. In 1794 he bought of Darby
and William Lux the southern part of " Job's Addition," 75
acres."^ In 1800 he conveyed to William Buchanan "all his
right " to 150 acres, being the upper, or " Homeland," part of
"Job's Addition.""^ What right he had to it does not appear,
but it is probable that this deed was intended to settle a boun-
dary dispute. All these lands constituted a single farm of over
300 acres, which would not have amounted to much of an estate
in a more remote section of the country; but it was situated in a
part of the county which was destined soon to become " sub-
urbanized," and the land is now basic to the title of a consid-
erable portion of one of Baltimore's most important suburban
areas.
On January 18, 1809, James Bryan made a deed of gift to
his son, Charles Bryan, of Lot. No. 34, containing 89^ acres,
part of " Sheredine's Discovery," 75 acres; part of " Job's Ad-
dition," bounded on the north by the land of William Buch-

James Bryan devised to his son, Charles, the residue of his real
estate in Baltimore County, including all but a small part of
" Addition to Bryan's Meadows Resurveyed."
According to an obituary notice in a Baltimore newspaper,
James Bryan died December 17, 1812, at his residence near
Baltimore, in his 87th year. He is described as a native of Bal-
timore County.^*^ Children mentioned in his will were: Nich-
olas Bryan, Eleanor Merryman, Elizabeth Hopkins, Mary Hop-
kins, and the aforesaid Charles Bryan.
The will of Charles Bryan was proved, September 6, 1837.^*'
He married Harriet Hopkins (Baltimore County marriage
license, dated April 11, 1807). By her he had three daugh-
ters, Mary, Elizabeth and Jane Cecilia, and a son, James Bryan.
Mary Bryan married Abner Linthicum, of Anne Arundel
County, and died at Govanstown, January 7, 1892, in her 85th
year,
Elizabeth Bryan married Wesley Constable.
Jane Cecilia Bryan married William Broadbent, Baltimore
merchant whose place of business, on Baltimore Street was
much frequented and well known in its day. He was the son
of the Rev. Stephen Broadbent, a native of Halifax, England,
and a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, bom about
1767; died March 9, 1849, in his 7lst year,"^ and is buried in
Greenmount Cemetery. William Broadbent and Jane Cecilia
Bryan were married January 16, 1842.^*' She was his second
wife.
James Bryan is not mentioned in this author's abstract of
his father's will. On February 8, 1850, his mother, Harriet
Bryan, widow, made over to him the farm on which they were
then residing, containing fifty acres.^'" This farm was bounded
on the east by the York Road, and on the north, approximately,

daughters."*
Mrs. Harriet Bryan's will was proved August 7, 1866, and
it seems likely that she died earlier that year.^'*
Title to the land now owned and occupied by Notre Dame
Convent and College may be traced to the Bryans. This land
is part of " Job's Addition." The first parcel purchased by this
institution was a tract of something over 33 acres. On August
19, 1847, Mary Linthicum, aforesaid, sold this land to the Rev.
James Joseph Dolan, who, on November 9, 1850, made it
over to the Trustees of the Orphans' Home.^^^ The Trustees
of the Home, together with Mary Taylor and Father Dolan,
conveyed the property, at the price of $600 per acre, Septem-
ber 7, 1858, to David M. Perine and the Messrs. Schoemacher
and Reynolds.^'' This deed calls for " the church lot," a road
to be laid out 20 perches wide (the future Homeland Avenue),
and Charles Street Avenue. Tradition has it that the reason
why Mr. Perine wanted to acquire this propery was that a
cemetery company was bargaining for it, a doleful prospect
which displeased him.
On April 19, 1871, Messrs. Perine, Schoemacher and Rey-
nolds sold this property to the School Sisters of Notre Dame.^'^
Sidney's Map of Baltimore City and County, 1850, shows the residence of
" Mrs. Brien " on the north side of this lane. Mrs. Bryan got about 150 acres
as her share of her husband's estate, about 75 acres part of which is now part
of Homeland.

PREDICTIONS OF A CIVIL WAR: 1832
By William S. Wilson
General Israel D. Maulsby, who was born in Harford County
in 1781, was remembered after his death in 1839 as an " eloquent
and ingenious lawyer," and as "a large, fine looking, genial, and
polished gentleman of the old school." ^ He had fought at the
Battle of North Point, and served in the Maryland legislature for
twenty-nine years. While a legislator, he wrote to his Senator,
General Sam Smith, the letter of a veteran soldier, a Southern
unionist, and a scholar of the old sdiool. Just as the painters of
his day posed statesmen in classical stances. General Maulsby poses
the problems confronting statesmen in terms of classical history,
and foresees a Civil War.

My Dear General:
I have been favored by your kind attention with your two
speeches on Mr. Clays resolution in relation to the Tariff (one a
reply to Mr. Clay's rude and ungentlemanly attack upon you per-
sonally) * and also with the speeches of Messrs. Grundy and Hill
and of General Hayne on the same subject, and have read them

''On Monday, January 9, 1832, Clay introduced a resolution "That the exist-
ing duties upon articles imported from foreign countries, and not coming into
competition with similar articles made or produced within the United States,
ought to be forthwith abolished, except the duties upon wines and silks, and
that they oug^t to be reduced," Record of Congressional Debates for January
9, 18S2.
* Clay accused Senator Smith of establishing an obstructionist committee on
Roads and Canals, and of changing his opinion cm the tariff: " The honorable
gentleman was in favor of protecting manufactures; but he had turned— I need
not use tht word— he has abandon^ msmufactures. Thus
' Old politicians chew on wisdom past
And totter on in business to the last.'
Smith replied, " Totter, sir I totter. Though some twenty years older than the
gentleman, I can yet stand firm, and am yet able to correct his errors." Record

all with great attention. It seems to me your idea of the advan-
tages to the County arising from the reduction or repeal of the
duties on the raw materials of the important articles of iron, wool,
hemp & others, and all duties on dye stuffs, and so to modify
the tariff as to cheapen all articles necessary to the working man
thereby lessening the expense or cost of manufacture and enabling
a fair competition with foreign fabric without the bounty protec-
tion, is most obvious.
But if it was not so, are the liberties &: is the peace of this
nation to be jeopardized to fasten and preserve a mere scheme of
policy? Certainly not. It is very clear, a portion of this nation
(and a most respectable & gallant portion of it too) will no longer
submit to what they consider tyranny and oppression. They have
petitioned, they have besought, they have reasoned, and they have
at length protested agst. his unequal taxation. They have been
answered by gibes and ridicule. Their statements of poverty and
deterioration have been rebutted by men living thousands of miles
from them, who profess to know their situation better than they
do themselves, and an inexorable tone is replyed to their com-
plaints. What then is to follow? It really seems to me, that there
are men, who wish to see a Civil War. And I am sorry to believe
the southern feeling will be thrown into combustion by the late
decision of the Supreme Court. I have read the southern speeches
with attention, and have seen many extracts from their papers,
if Confess by its decision on the subject growing out of Mr. Clays
resolution, clinch the nail of the tariff, force will be resorted to,
and our gallant & excellent President, can by no influence short
of force (and perhaps not even by force) restore peace to our dis-
tracted country.
What reason have we to hope it will not be so? Is not the
nature of man the same now, it was Eighteen Hundred years ago?
Greece was a confederacy of republics, & less potent and durable
causes than interest and power on the one hand, and a conscious-
ness of oppression & determination of resistance on the other have
frequently lighted the torch of civil discord and made the blood
of kindred nations flow in torrents. Rc«He with her colonies, and
allies, was a confederated republic and yet when was the Temple
of Janus closed, and why should we suppose ourselves exempt
from the baleful consequences of wild ambition mingled and fer-
mented with all the angry passions of our nature? The hope is
delusion, nor is there anything peculiar in the frame of our gov-
ernment to avert or controul such disastrous consequences. Our
government rests upon the public will, and is more remarkable
for the liberty it reserves to individual man, than for its energy.
Where a majority will oppress, a minority must always be formid-
able and will constantly grow in strength.

Quakers in the Founding of Arnie Arundel Coui^, Maryland. By
J. Reaney Kelly. Baltimore, The Maryiaad Historical Society,
1963. ix, 146. $6.00.
With characteristic thoroughness and attention to detail, Reaney
Kelly has traced the progress of the QtialEer movement in Anne
Arundel County and examined its influence in the early develop-
ment of the County. It is well known that the original settlers of
the County were Puritans who had suffered oppression in Virginia
and were attracted to Maryland by the pxnaise cA religious freedom.
What historians had previously failed to observe was that many of
these Puritans, isolated and perfiaps discontented with the formal-
ism of Puritan doctrine, were converted to Quakerism, which was
emerging as a religious movement in England about the same time
the Puritans were arriving in Maryland.
Within a few years after George Fox had founded the Society of
Friends, messengers were sent to the New World to publish the
truth and gain " convincements," i. e., persuade others to accept the
truth. The first messenger to arrive in Maryland wjk Elizabeth
Harris, who came to Anne Arundel County (then called Provi-
dence) about 1656. In the course of several visits, she and other
messengers " convinced " many of the most prominent residents of
the County, including members of the county and provincial
governments. In summarizing this activity, Mr. Kelly concludes
" that of Lord Baltimore's governing officials of the county between
1650 and 1654 and the Puritan representatives who controlled most
of the Province from 1654 to 1658, a total of eleven became Friends."
What was even more remarkable, as Mr. Kelly points out, was
that Elizabeth Harris and her fellow Quakers were allowed to
pursue their religious beliefs and proselytize among the inhabitants
of Maryland with little or no hindrance from the governing
authorities, although the refusal of Quakers to swear to an oath
caused some difficulty until special laws were passed to relieve them
of this requirement.
By way of contrast, Mary Fisher and Ann Austin, who are
generally credited by historians as being the first Friends to arrive
in America, were taken into custody immediately upon their
arrival in the harbor of Boston. Their effects were searched, their
books burned and, jifter five weeks in prison where they were held
381
382
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
incommunicado, they were shipped back to England. Other Friends
who followed them were treated even more harshly and at least one
was hanged.
The early records o£ the Quaker meetings have been remarkably
well presa~ved and Mr. Kelly has used them freely in tracing the
history of the several meetings organSzM im Aftne Arundel County.
Although informal private and public meetings had been held in
various places since 1656, the first General Meeting was called by
John Burnyeat at West River in April 1672. George Fox was
present and participated in organizing the first Yearly Meeting in
Maryland. Later that year. Fox opened a Gm«:al Meeting at Tred
Avon Creek, thus originating what is now known as the Third
Haven Meeting at Easton.
Strangely enough, the early impetus attained by the Quaker
movement in Anne Arundel County did not last long and signs of
decline began to manifest themselves early in the eighteenth century.
In analyzing the factors contributing to the decline, Mr. Kelly
mentions the establishment of the Church of England, the con-
flicting views on slavery and the eiiHi^raticHi of Quakers, particularly
the younger generations, from the County. Today, there is not a
single meeting in Anne Arundel; the only vestige remaining being
the Old Quaker Burying Ground.
Genealogists interested in the early families of Anne Arundel
County will find much useful mfcsnnation here. In fact, if there is
any weakness in this work, it lies in the fact that occasionally the
genealogical detail furnished in identifying an individual distracts
the reader's attention and makes it difficult to follow the author's
main thought.
The volume ends with a series of sketches describing houses built
during the colonial period by Quakers, as follows: " Cedar Park,"
" Larkins Hills," " Whites Hall," " Tulip Hill," " Holly Hill " and
" Sudley." Photographs of these houses are included among the
illustrations.
All in all, Mr. Kelly has made a very important contribution to
our knowledge of the early history of Anne Arundel County.
Moreover, the information he has presented is thoroughly docu-
mented and may serve as a basis for further studies on the influence
of the Quakers, not only in Anne Arundel, but in other counties as
well. Finally, although his brief biographical sketch of the hitherto
unknown Elizabeth Harris is admittedly incomplete, Mr. Kelly has
presented us with sufficient data about her to indicate that this
remarkable woman may well have rivalled, or even surpassed,
Margaret Brent as a force and influence in Maryland history.

Here Lies Virginia: An Archaeologists View of Colonial Life and
History. By Ivor NoSl Hume. New York: Alfred A. Knopf,
Inc., 196S. xxix, S17. $7.95.
Archaeological investigations at numerous sites of early European
settlement in the New World have in recent years provided abund-
ant new evidence on Colonial life and times, supplementing that
from other primary sources preserved in books and documents, old
buildings and their furnishings fortunately surviving, and personal
possessions long cherished. Yet these investigations are perhaps less
widely known than are certain of their by-products, in restorations,
reconstructions, and historical exhibits.
In no other sphere of settlement by colonists along the Atlantic
Coast, perhaps, have these new studies been more fruitful than
within that vast realm once claioi^ kmc Elizaibeth I, particulaly
within the state whose very name evdtes memories of the Virgin
Queen. Place-names such as Roanoke, Jamestown, and Williams-
burg have taken on a fresh and lively meaning in our time, in part
because of noteworthy excavations and correlated researches at these
and other sites. Beyond adding to previous knowledge, through the
recovery of much informative and revealing evidence, long hidden
and forgotten, efforts in this direction have in certain instances
substantially altered and even corrected knowledge of the physical
surroundings and conditions of life in the Colonies.
Here Lies Virginia, by the chief archaeologist of Colonial
Williamsburg, presents some of the most significant and striking of
these recent investigations, centering attention on excavations con-
ducted by the author and by his colleagues elsewhere and on the
essential collateral studies. Reasons are advanced why such work
has been done, and why it should be extended to other sites also, at
which archaeology may also serve as a handmaiden to history. For
each of the topics and particular sites treated in his account, Hume's
volume affra-ds fresh and vivid reviews of the differing but related
studies, through skilful selection and organization of his materials,
a fluent and sensitive text, and the use of apt illustrations of superior
quality, all brought within the covers of an attractive and well-made
book.
The volume is a pioneering effort to survey and to assess progress
of knowledge in a field of history having lasting significance for
Americans, since comparable surveys of purposes, methods, and the
varied results of such efforts at Colonial sites have been lacking.
Hume's work, thus answering an obvious need, provides matter not
to be found elsewhere in print so conveniently, together with some
384
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
that is probably little known except among those who have labored
in this historical vineyard. Not a book of detailed anjdyws or of
comprehensive syntheses, and not intended for use as a textbook,
it is rather a timely tract, proportions ample enough to do justice
to its topic, while designed to attract further talent to it and to
arouse still wider interest than has yet been manifested. For those
refldei^ who •wkh. more detailed information on individual sites and
matters reviewed, a carefully selected set of references for further
study is included— one of the first such finding lists for the newer
literature of the subject.
Hume has succeeded in his effort to appeal and to inform at
once, by his use of striking and significant materials, textual as
well as pictorial. The book reveals the broader and deeper under-
standing to be had, in fortunate instances, of the physical realities
of Colonial life and history from sustained and imaginative re-
searches, both indoors and out. It is to be hoped that the volume
will be widely known and vmA, clearly exposing, as it does, the
abiding interest of its very human subject matter.

Puritan Protagonist: President Thomas Clap of Yale College. By
Louis Leonard Tucker. Chapel Hill: University of North
Carolina Press, 1962. (Published for the Institute of Early
American History and Cult«-e at Williamsburg, Virginia.)
XV, 283. $6.
For good or ill, two precedents for American higher education were
set at eighteenth century Yale College: the self-perpetuating single
bcmrd of control and the stnmg pre«deiicy. Thomas Clap, a Harvard
graduate, was responsible for both. After only five years as rector.
Clap, by his new charter of 1745, changed his relatively weak office
into the powerful one of president. For the next twenty-one years
Yale was his institution. High-handed, petulant, and dogmatic, this
thorough Calvinist with a " bullying personality " fought Arminians
and Anglicans to keep Yale pure for Old Light then New Light
Congregationalism. While he presided over the physical expansion
of the College and in many ways proved himself a sagacious ad-
ministrator. Clap was a Newtonian scientist especially interested in
observational astronomy. The author hcMs that the "dualism"
REVIEWS OF RECENT BOCMSS
385
in Clap's mind of scientific " relativism " and theological absolutism
led him to tolerate the views of scientists who differed with him in
matters of religious faith. This fits nicely with the standard account
in intdlectual history courses of eighteenth century scientisef Wlio
interpreted their findings as " God's handiwork " or who thought
of God as the " neutral spectator " of His Newtonian universe. The
trouble is that there were varying degrees of Calvinism and various
shadings of scientific relativism. Rarely were they kept in perfect
balance. Attributing a harmonious dualism of science and religion
to Clap's intellect tends to make his a bland Calvinism when in
fact he was always " strenuous for Orthodoxy." And it saps the
strength from the iatelkctual dxrmg sad tokmion and faith of
a man like Ezra Stiles, the later Yale president who epitomizes the
Enlightenment in American academic life and who was a far
" gentler " Puritan than Thomas Clap. Nevertheless Dr. Tucker
has done well by a man who left no treasure of personal manu-
scripts for historians. His biography is ^^fMtthetk far tine r61e of
Clap in his society yet critical of the man's personal faults. It
clearly traces church and state affairs in Connecticut throughout the
Great Awakening, and it contains one of the best accounts we have
of undergraduate life in a colonial college.

Mitre and Sceptre: Transt^lemiic Fidths, Id^, Pmrs@nmlities, and
Politics, 1689-1775. By Carl Bridenbaugh. New York: Oxford
University Press, 1962. xiv, 354. $7.50.
Following the lead of his recent presidential address to the
American Historical Association, the author has himself helped
meet the great need for a better understanding of American
religious history. Limiting his scope chronott^ically, he seizes upon
a most revealing social and intellectual experience of early America.
Arthur L. Cross's study of the Anglican drive for American bishops
ettablMied the broad YmXcxac^ stgn^GMice o€ this episode. The
present study isnes the movement to penetrate an era of intellectual
tension which was deeply a part of the provocation to rebellion in
1776. An original contribution is made possible also through
extensive use of the records of the Dissenting Deputies in England,
private papm df the pfietagofmtt, and the colonial press as a
barometer of social feeling as well as ideas.
The mitre was conveniently near the sceptre in England but not

MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
SO in America. There New England colonial charters freed Con-
gregational and other Dissenters from both and for a long time even
hept @ut High Church Anglicans. By 1700, however, the Society
fe* tftie Propagation of the Gospel addressed itself to the ta^ of
remedying this condition. It met with a violent rebuff, even though
some Anglicans did eventually find a place of worship and win
conformity tmm k i&w etiaxiemtt Miyw Englanders.
Under the leadership of such able men as Ezra Stiles of Yale,
intelligent collaboration developed with influential men of like
mind in England. Dr. Benjamin Avery and others of the Dissenting
Deputies there kept a protective shield against the ulterior thrusts
of Churdlmen, which -wm always featred to be directed at ultimate
establishment of episcopacy in America in the form found in the
mother country. In the open press rather than in the precincts of
government councils, the American D»»enters successfully defended
their freedom. The famous William Livingstoa debates in the
Independent Reflector became a landmark. The Rev. Patrick
Alison, the learned Baltimorean, went in the service of the Presby-
terian Synod to New England Dissenters in one of several overtures
toward a defensive union in ihe face of an impending episcopacy.
The American RevolutiOTi ultimately secured the provincial Dis-
senter society of New England from High Church imposition. Else-
where other Christian quasi-establishments were greatly modified
and republican episcopacy emerged in the American Protestant
Episcopal Church.
Mitre and Sceptre must not be taken to imply a study of the
Church of England in its American dimension. The focus is still
on Dissenter Protestantism. This is perhaps why the treatment of
Church partisans leaves something to be desired. Prima facie
deviousness of men in controversy needs rather detailed examina-
tion before stronger characterizations can be attached to an incident
of portrayal. This is even more the case when complex adjustment
of public policy with a growing regard for personal freedom is the
topic of controversy. There was much liberal thought among
American Churchmen. Many leaders on both sides, on the other
hand, thought within s^me construct!^ of quasi-establishment.
New England Dissenters were the last to give up such a practice.
The excellent unity of the story probably would have been
marred by a comprehensive related account of Maryland, Virginia
and other southern colonies. An adequate picture of the Chiurch
of England possibly could not even then have been gained. For
this a view must be taken from the mitre at the head of the empire;

By Sea and By River: The Naval History of the Civil War. By
Bern Anderson. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1962. xiv,
303. $5.95.
This study of a comparatively neglected field, by a Rear Admiral,
U. S. N. (Ret.) , and onetime fellow editor with Samuel E. Morison
of the History of United States Naval Operations in World War U,
will probably attract any "buff" and will certainly instruct any
specialist of the Civil War. This is because, presumably for the first
time, an attempt is made to assess the strategic value to the Union
of its naval arm both here and in Europe. The attempt is compre-
hensive and detailed, and the result should stand as a useful com-
plement to Richard S. West's Mr. Lincoln's Navy (1947) . Annota-
tion is kept to a minimum, and bibliography is excluded altogether
" inasmuch as this is an interpretation of the significance of the
naval aspects of the Civil War rather than a documentary account
. . ." (pp. vi-vii) . The index is adequate, though far from complete.
The double-page map cluster is outstandingly inadequate. Ample,
but doubtless not undue, correction is administered to the tradi-
tional tendency to overstate the role of the ground forces in the
great conflict. Although the author's Preface implies that he is
offering an estimate of both sides, such is not the case. This is a
study from the Federal point of view, with the Confederate Navy
barely considered. Of the twenty illustrations only three are allotted
to Southern subjects.
Perhaps the following animadversion is irrelevant to Admiral
Anderson's purpose— if so, apologies are in order. But it seems to
this reviewer that the present work and similar types of military
history lose, or deliberately ignore, a uniqtte and vital element in
a book designed for a general audience when their authors assume
what may be termed the " captain's cabin " or " headquarters tent "
pmnt of view. From such a place the commanding officer looks at
a map, makes his decision, and issues his order without once having
to contemplate the raw edges of a shell hole or the damp bulges
of a litter case. In a real-life situation this is as it should be. But
in a printed reflection of real life the result is the banishment of the

The Amazing Mrs. Bonaparte: A Novel Based on the Life of Betsy
Patterson. By Harnett T. Kane. Garden City, New York:
Doubleday & Company, 1963. 301. $4.50.
This is pleasant young-adult reading, the story of the pretty
Baltimore girl who married Napoleon's brother Jerome. Its book-
jacket, which calls her " the woman who tried to be Empress of
France," is hardly accurate. Betsy did have hopes, until Napoleon's
second marriage produced the King of Rome, that her own son
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte might one day be his heir; the possi-
bility of her husband's succeedin|; as emperor was pure fantasy.
Betsy did not try to be Empress of France; ft was hard cmongh to
be recognized merely as Mrs. Bonaparte. Napoleon, when he men-
tioned her, called her " Miss Patterson."
He ordered Jerome home in disgrace— without Betsy. Jerome
went; Betsy went with him; but then the French consul took over.
Jerome was sent to join Napoleon in Italy. Betsy found eventual
refi^ in England, and there her baby was bom.
In the course of a long life she never met Jerome again. She saw
him once, at a distance (he was King of Westphalia then) accom-
panied by his second wife. Meantime Betsy, badk and forth between
Europe and America, consulting with the Bonapartes, quarreling
with her father, had never given up her fight. If she never became
a queen, she did become a legend in her own time, one of the more
formidable American heroines.
Mr. Kane writes, as always, interestingly and plausibly. He has
done ample research, and his acknowledgment list reads like a
telephone directory— nearly six pages. But he needed one person
more, a Marylander who, reading The Amazing Mrs. Bonaparte in
mnuscript, would have caught the slips, like the several "John

the fiasco at Bladensburg and the occupation of Washington he
turns to the successful defense of Baltimore against the invaders
and the courageous behavior of the defenders whkJi compensated
in no small measure for the unpard^able mismanagei»ent of om
leaders in the capital. He concludes with a summary of the Treaty
of Ghent which restored peace on the basis of the status quo, and
thus emphasized the fact that there was really no need for the war.
The atr^KW has added nod^tag new to ^ accepted veiwms of the
campaign, though he is perhaps Biore ^aritable than other writers
have been to the pitiable performance Of our army at Bladensburg.
Like writers before him he has quoted generously from the colorful
accounts of the British subaltern George Robert Gleig, John P.
Kennedy who fougjit with the Maryland Fifth Regiment at Bladens-
burg, and other contemporaries. Mr. MuUer's is a sound, conscien-
tious work which omits none of the details and packs the whole
story into the brief space of 232 pages. Five maps, so essential to
wet anderstanding of accounts of battles, are included. The volume
is one in the Great Battles of History seri^ edited by Haii»cm W.
Baldwin, military correspondent of the New York Times.

A History of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad. By George
W. Hilton. Berkeky, Calif.: Howell-North Books, 1968. 179.
}5.
The Ma & Pa could well have become a competitor to the mighty
Pennsylvania Railroad in the Maryland and Pennsylvania area if
the dreams and plans of its predecessor lines had come true. The
Baltimore banking firm of Alexander Brown had much to do with
the forming of the Ma & Pa by consolidating a number of small
narrow gauge and standard gauge railroads to form the standard
gauge Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad in 1901.
From its Baltimore terminus at North Avenue and Howard Street
to York, Pennsylvania, is a distance of 49 miles, as the crow flies,
but the Ma & Pa covered 77 miles to reach its northern terminus at
York. It took 4 hours and 10 minutes to cover this distance. This
picturesque route included 111 bridges and 476 curves. As the
auth(H- pointed out, it couM have been called " The Route of the
Screaming Flanges " as 47% of the track was on a curve.
In its early days, the passenger traffic was quite plentiful. It
consisted erf travelling salesmen, relatives, shoppers and varied com-
muter services. Sunday excursions to " Rocks " was quite popular.
The milk business was quite profitable and the early morning train
to Baltimore was informally called " The Milky Way." Passenger
service in the last few years before abandonment in 1954 consisted
of commuter service in reverse. The 7.10 A. M. train out of
Baltimore carried day workers to iaxwas and homes in the suburban
area, north of TowsMi, who returned to Baltimore on the late
afternoon train.
Steam motive power lasted until 1956 when Diesel power took
over. The favorite and most pqpralar steam engine was #6, a light
4-4-0 which was scrapped in 1952. The Maryland portion of the
road was abandoned in 1958 but the remaining portion in Pennsyl-
vania is still in service.
Professor Hilton's book is well illustrated with 175 photos and
will help keep alive the memory of this delightful little railroad
for many years to come.

Shipcarvers of North America. By M. V. Brewington. Barre, Mass.,
Barre Publishing Company, 1962. 175. $12.

tered to permit any one man discovering half of them. But it is
hoped the main thread of the story has been accurately traced."
It has indeed, and much more. This is an excellent book, well
written and well researched, with a good index, bibliography, and
list (by states) of American shipcarvers. The notes and references
are brief but adequate, and the book as a whole beautifully pre-
sented, illuminated by nearly 150 fine photographs and drawings.
Mr. Brewington, formerly Curator of the Navy and presently
Assistant Director and Curatw @i Mm^Mmm ifistery at tfte Pea^ody
Museum of Salem, is an authority on the maritime history of
Chesapeake Bay, and this interest is reflected in a large collection
now in the Maryland Historical Society. His Maryland research
discovers only one Annapolis shipcarver, Henry Crouch " from
London," who "lived somewhat obscurely" in Annapolis for less
than two years before he died, in 1 762; but " who was deem'd by
good Judges to be as ingenious an Artist at his Business, as any in
the King's Dominions." It is hi^ly poislble, of course, that some
of the known Annapolis ship-eaifwnlers capable of carving.
From Baltimore Mr. Brewington lists fifteen carvers, their working
dates ranging from 1789 to 1868, one from Solomon's and three
from Woolford. Of special interest in Maryland, also, is Mr.
Brewington's appendix on the frigate Constitution, many relics of
which remain in the state.
Frigates, packets and clippers have had their day but, as Mr.
Brewington says, " As long as romantics go down to the sea under
sail there will always be a few figureheads afloat." If their carvers
need an illustrated textbook they will find an admirable one here.

The Secession Conventions of the South. By Ralph A. Wooster.
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1962. viii, 294. $6.50.
Using materials hitherto generally neglected, the manuscript
returns of the Eighth United States Census (1860) , Professor
Wooster has gathered much basic information about participants
in secession conventions, as well as those in the legislatures of states
which considered secession, but did not hold conventions. Investi-
gating the situation in each of the 15 slave states, the author
estimates that he examined some 195,000 manuscripts pages of
Schedule No. 1, Free Inhabitants, searching for information as to
the individual's wealth, occupation, place of birth, slave holdings,
392
MARYLAN© HISTC»ICAL MAGAZINE
etc., in order to make meaningful statistical comparisons between
secessionists and cooperationists. This kind of painstaking and
scholarly research will be welcomed by future students, and should
save them from making unsupported generalizations.
No longer will anycMie be able to postulate a " great j^aater "
conspiracy, nor unqualifiedly maintain that elderly, consferVttiTe
Whigs favored accommodation, while young, hot-blooded Democrats
favored secession. It is now clear that these attitudes varied from
section to section and from state to state. In comparing Mississippi
and Alabama, for example, the author shows that only in the latter
was wealth a factor in determining secession viewpoints. Tradi-
tional county political patterns often provided a clue to secession
feelings, yet Wooster points out that such was not the case in
Lo^siana, nor was it true when Bredeenrn^ counties showed the
weakest southern rights strength in Missouri's convention. A final
chapter reaches some tentative over-all conclusions, noting for
example that secessionist sentiment was particularly strong in
counties containing 62^% or mtme slave populations, and the
opposite was true in counties with less than 12^% slave populations.
The work is the product of fundamental research, illustrated with
state convention voting maps and containing 70 statistical charts,
wkidi malie mduaUc ciKiparisons between those individuals favor-
ing and those (^iposing secession. The author has utilized abundant
primary and secondary materials; his thoroughness is perhaps best
illustrated by the number of Masters' essays he has found to shed
light on local activity. Useful annotations are in the footnotes as
weH m in the luMt^jn^hkal note picetding a selected bibliograf^ty.
Since this is not history in the grand manner, the author generally
presents his evidence and allows the reader to reach his own con-
clusions. The average reader will find it a dull and dreary hock,
peopled with statistics rather than people, and containing none of
the excitement, color, and high drama usually associated with this
critical period. The specialist, on the other hand, will stand
indebted to Professor Wooster's fortitude.

American Strategy in World W«r 11: A Reeonsidemti&n. By Kjent
Roberts Greenfield. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkms Press,
1963. X, 145. $4.50.
The traditional view has been that while President Franklin D.
Roosevelt made the United States' major political decisions affecting
World War II, he left the strategic military decisions to his pro-
fessional military advisers, that is, to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Two
(kcad« kter that traditi(Mi is challenged and, impressively enough,
by the scholar who more truly than any other individual shaped the
Army's official 60-odd-volume history, The U. S. Army in World
War II.
This is Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, for 16 years Chairman of the
Johns Hopkins Department of History and, from 1942 on, a
distinguished specialist in American military history. From that
year to 1958, as the Army's Chief Historian he planned, organized,
and administered the Army's great project for a fully documented
record of World War II in all its multiple aspects of command and
staff, of continuous planning and performance, of combat troops
and technical services. To that work he gave unending thought and
attention, selecting the historians and the editing staff; watching,
encouraging, guiding, conducting the office seminars at which each
historian's drafts were critically examined by colleagues and by
outside critics, and setting the pace for this monumental library.
It is with that impressive backgroimd that Dr. Greenfield (who
must be one of very few who literally read and reread every word
of the Army histories which poured from the press during those
years) now undertakes a reexamination of fact and hitherto ac-
cepted tradition. In one of four concise chapters (each chapter
based on a recent lecture) he closely examines the major strategic
problems, and concludes from the evidence that Mr. Roosevelt him-
self initiated many of the decisions (military as well as political)
and in several instances overrode the judgment of his military
advisers— in two cases not wisely but often proving a better judge
of requirements than the Joint Chiefs themselves. In the President's
considered judgment (endorsing the British Chiefs' position)
against a 1943 cross-Channel attack, time proved him right; likewise
in his plan for an enormous output of effort for rapid plane con-
struction; likewise in his insistence upon merchant-shipbuilding for
Britain even when the Navy w^ groaning for warships. Dr. Green-
field relentlessly quotes the experts' gloomy prophecies which were
not fulfilled. "He liked to play by ear," Dr. Greenfield remarks,
in explaining some of the Roosevelt policies; perhaps that is the
explanation of Mr. Roosevelt's flexibility of policy, often infuriat-
394
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
ing at the time but undeniably effective in coping with unpredic-
tables as they arose.
The other chapters deal with (1) what the author regards as
the eight major strategic decisions and the reaswiing back of them;
(2) the conflicts of British and American policies— the decision
frequently supporting a realistic British position, and Mr. Roosevelt
pftti&nally responsible for it; and (3) the problems created by the
new epodi of air power. Altogether a thoughtful and useful book,
with seme judgments quite ^IkfFtmt those which have been
generally held.

New Bremen Excavation— The second season of excavation at the
site of the New Bremen Glassmanufactory of John Frederick
Amelung, south of Frederick, Md., has been completed. The
excavation was organized by The Corning Museum of Glass with
the cooperation of Colonial Williamsburg and the Smithsonian
Institution.
The Glassmanufactory was established by Amelung in 1784 with
the help of a group of German glassmakers whom he brought from
Bremen, Germany. Though active for only 10 years it produced
the most refined and distinguished glass made in America until the
I9th century and its output was particularly notable for the number
of elaborately engraved presentation pieces. Until 1962 when the
same team carried out the first professicmal excavation of the site
397
398
MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE
little was known concerning the extent of Amelung's factory or the
nature and size of his furnaces. The encouraging results of the first
season which uncovered a fritting furnace of imposing size and of
a type hitherto unrecorded in America prompted a continuation of
the project.
According to Paul N. Perrot, Director of the Corning Museum of
Glkss and Administrative Director of the excavation, " the correct-
ness of our estimates concernii^ the extent and importance of the
remains has been inore than -vindfitjated. An extremely large struc-
ture 112 feet by 65 feet was uncovered. A preliminary study of its
plan indicated that it housed at least two glassmaking furnaces and
several ancillary structures all cl&s^ related in what, for its age,
foims an imposing industrial complex."
In addition to the buildings and furnaces a large number of glass
samples were uncovered, particularly rich in fragments of pattern
molded and ribbed tumblers and flasks of types which have not
hitherto been directly HnkM to Asacitiag's jM-oduction, as well as
great quantities of remains from simple utilitarian pieces which are
quite ordinary in quality.
" With this second excavation we are concluding our work at the
Amelung site," stated Mr. Perrot. " Our purpose was to uncover as
much new information as possible on one of our most distinguished
early industries, and permit a clearer evaluation of Amelung's place
in the history of glass. This goal appears to have been reached and
we expect in the not too distant future to publish a summary of
Mr. Noel Hume's findings in the Journal of Glass Studies, a Corning
Museum publication. The shed built last year over the first furnace
will remain and we may add one or more protective structures this
year over our new finds. Should it prove desirable to do further
work at a later date we have the gracious permission of the owners
to do so. In the meantime we hope that the site will not be molested
by souvenir hunters and that all those interested in the preseirvation
of the remains of 18th century industrial American will consider
this small corner of Maryland a shrine from which sprang a fine
tradition in glassmaking which exerted an important influence on
the development of the industry particularly in Western Pennsyl-
vania and the Pittsburgh area."

COVER PICTURE
The Cover Picture is a lithograph published by E. Sachse and
Company of Baltimore and also possibly of St. Louis. The scene,
after the fashion of Currier and Ives, depicts the bustling life along
the Cumberland Road. The exact location or name of the inn are
unknown, but evidently the building was a waggoners' inn of which
there was one built about every three miles. Archer Butler Hulbert
mentions a place called the Sign of the Green Tree (1808) in
Washington, Pennsylvania. It was one of the famed resting places
for pioneers moving westward and a green tree is prominent in this
picture.^
Not a great deal is known about Edward Sachse. He emigrated
from Germany at the age of thirty-six, te 1840, and his name ftrst
appears in the Baltimore Directory of 1851 at 3 North Liberty Street.
By 1860, he was joined by his brother Theodore, and by the time
of the publication of the " Inn of the Roadside," the company was
WOTking at 5 North Liberty Street. Sachse probably printed
hundreds of such works. He is best known for the " Birds Eye View
of Baltimore, 1869 " and other lithographs: the " Camp of Duryea's
Zouaves, of New York, on Federal Hill," (1861) , " Fort Federal
Hill" (1862) and "The United States Army General Hospital,
Patterson Park, Baltimore " (1836) . Sachse died in 1873.*
